Welcome to Bahlam, the sunken city of the Old Gods in the South Atlantic Ocean. After surviving a terrible shipwreck, Nikolay Bernstein - a marine archaeologist and adventurer - comes to life at a depth of 11,000 meters below sea level. He is badly wounded and, against his will, is connected with a supernatural companion system. Trying to reveal the secrets of what is happening, our hero begins to explore the lost city, gradually realizing that something unprecedented and ominous is watching his every step.

On the way home, you will meet the miners from the peaceful Wozan tribe - they are afraid of the ancient gods and dream of returning to the surface ever since their ancestors were enslaved 5,000 years ago. Some of them were able to escape from their captors and found secret colonies in the depths of the sunken ruins, while others are still forced to suffer under the yoke of evil hostile creatures that captured the city after the sudden disappearance of the ancient gods.

A truly non-linear metroidvania gameplay awaits you, five different game areas with many puzzles and traps, clashes with formidable bosses, and captive Wozan creatures that you must free. Your companion system gradually maps the traversed areas, and its useful abilities - hacking, terrain scanning and telekinesis - help you manage your environment.

Explore Bahlam as you please - climb, crawl and dive without any restrictions. As you progress, you´ll be able to find ancient weapons, upgrades for your suit, and hacking protocols for the droid - your options will constantly expand. All equipment in the game is carefully balanced, and you will have to use it wisely to overcome certain hazards or puzzles.

In cooperative play, you can explore ancient depths with a friend, who will take control of an invulnerable companion system. Help each other, solve puzzles and escape from the dangers of Bahlam. This mode also provides a unique opportunity for team high-speed progress through the game.

Outbuddies DX is a modest project with a modest budget, but that doesn´t mean it´s a poor quality game. Pixel graphics are perfectly scaled without distortion or interference to your screen resolution. The game runs at 60 frames per second. The Hybrid Physics model delivers realistic handling of acceleration and object movement, while maintaining the impeccable precision of the old classics. The artificial intelligence of enemies and bosses makes them very dangerous rivals who do their job just as well as their counterparts from the souls genre! Outbuddies DX also supports a wide variety of devices - mice, keyboards, and a range of gamepads - allowing you to play the way you like. Your opinion is important to us.
