What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

BABBDI impresses players with its distinctive atmosphere, quirky vibe, and creative movement mechanics like pickaxe climbing and propeller flying, with particular praise for its eerie brutalist aesthetics and level design. The main criticism is that it's quite short and the story lacks depth, with some feeling it tries too hard to be unsettling when it comes across as silly instead. Since it's free, players generally recommend at least trying it for the unique experience, though expectations should be tempered for narrative substance.

very gooda

Highly recommmended, it is pretty short but a great game and super fun to 100%. I must say it was creepy at first, all given the atmosphere the dev was able to produce. Even so, it holds no jumpscare and no real horror elements, just a great vibe and a short but funny as well as touching story. The sounds are also great. It was fun to explore every inch of the map and see what each character has to say. Fun, easy, short. :)

Pretty weird and interesting, but super confusing

Recommended Oct 20, 2026

Surprisingly fluid and interesting experience. Being myself an estimator of French Brutalism, I kind of recognize the landscape. I finished in 1000 seconds and I think I never stopped, always finding something interesting and never being blocked. Quite an achievement, nowadays.

Recommended Oct 19, 2026

I love concrete. The developers somehow made one of simultaneously the most ugly and beautiful games I've ever played.
