Explore the Depths of Bahlam
OUTBUDDIES DX is set in the world of Bahlam, an ancient and mysterious place located at the bottom of the sea. You play as John, a marine archaeologist who finds himself trapped in this underwater world after an earthquake. With the help of a friendly drone called Buddy, John must navigate through the dangerous depths of Bahlam to uncover the secrets of this forgotten civilization.
“Our main goal was to recreate the feeling of exploring a vast and mysterious open world, while keeping a strong focus on storytelling and delivering an engaging gameplay experience,” says Julian Laufer, the game’s creator. And from the looks of it, OUTBUDDIES DX seems to have achieved that goal.

Gameplay Elements
OUTBUDDIES DX is a Metroidvania-style game, which means that players will have to explore the world and unlock new abilities in order to progress. The game offers a non-linear level design, giving players the freedom to explore at their own pace. You can expect to encounter a variety of enemies, challenging platforming sections, and numerous secrets hidden throughout the world of Bahlam.
One of the key features of the game is the Buddy system, where players can control Buddy to solve puzzles or attack enemies. Buddy can also be upgraded with different modules, giving you more options in combat and exploration. Another interesting aspect is the scanning mechanic, where you can scan objects and enemies to gain information about them.
Boss Battles Galore
OUTBUDDIES DX offers intense boss battles that require quick reflexes and strategic thinking. You’ll have to use all of your abilities, along with Buddy’s help, to defeat these powerful foes. Each boss has a unique design and attack patterns, making each battle a thrilling experience.
Graphics and Sound
The retro-inspired pixel art style of OUTBUDDIES DX is visually stunning, with detailed environments and character designs. The game also features a dynamic lighting system that adds to the atmosphere of the underwater world. The sound design is equally impressive, with a haunting soundtrack that immerses players into the game’s world.
