Developer Eldelic Games has just announced Inky Blinky Bob, an upcoming surreal horror-comedy action game in development for PC that has you battling on the ground an in the air in your hot air baloon against all sorts of oddities – most notably the giant floating octopus from which the game takes its name.
“With Inky Blinky Bob, we wanted to create something that feels like Monty Python crash-landed into a Lovecraftian fever dream,” said Eldelic Games CEO Miroslav Ilić. “It’s eerie, explosive, and deliberately absurd, blending unsettling imagery with moments of unexpected humour.” Check out the first trailer above.
While navigating this strange archipelago world, you’ll take quests from weird NPCs, accumulate resources, and prepare as best you can to battle against Bob itself by upgrading your weapons and your hot air balloon.
Inky Blinky Bob will be available for PC via Steam on March 20. Wishlist it if you’re interested.
