About They Breathe

✦ AI summary

Guide a lone frog through a flooded forest's depths, learning the brutal rules of its oxygen-obsessed ecosystem through observation and pattern recognition to survive. This atmospheric indie puzzle-adventure tells its unsettling story entirely through gameplay and hand-drawn visuals, leaving you to uncover the horrifying true nature of the creatures hunting you.

CAN YOU SEE IT?
In the first game by The Working Parts, a lone frog descends into the depths of a flooded forest, not yet knowing the full extent of its tragedy. To survive in a brutal, oxygen-obsessed ecosystem, you must help it see the patterns and hidden truths that make up the rules of the forest - horrible as they may be.

They Breathe is a critically acclaimed indie gem risen from the depths of Xbox Live Indie Games. In thirty short minutes, the game leaves it up to you to figure out every part of its increasingly bizarre universe, in order to survive the onslaught of unexpected creatures and ultimately comprehend their true nature. No matter how your descent to the bottom of the forest takes shape, it is guaranteed to give you the chills without a single word of dialog.

Keep your eyes open, for there is darkness beneath the surface. And you're not at the bottom yet.

    ✦ AI summary

    They Breathe is a short atmospheric horror game praised for its haunting audiovisual presentation, environmental design, and effective storytelling that conveys its dark tone beautifully. Players consistently highlight the atmospheric quality and sound design as standouts, though opinions split sharply on value, with some finding it a worthwhile bargain while others feel its brief length (around 30 minutes) makes it overpriced. Players who enjoy atmospheric horror recommend it enthusiastically, though those seeking longer gameplay experiences may want to wait for a sale.

    A horrifyingly beautiful experience. The developers did a great job on everything that's important for this game and thus it conveyes the tone and meaning perfectly. For the price they ask you should absolutely play this

    Not for me personally. Very short and overpriced for what it is, you can beat this game in 30mins. By watching the trailer on this store page, you've pretty much played the game. To end on a positive note, I did like the environment and sounds, but that's really it.

    A short and sweet blend of simple-yet-solid gameplay and profound audiovisual storytelling.
    Recommended Jul 23, 2026
    Short but fabulous. Would be great even at $5 instead. The atmosphere and the story are truly horrifying in a dark creeping way. Hits my horror need perfectly. If this is your genre, BUY BUY BUY, You will *not* regret. PS: Jump in blind or don't play.
