About KOBOLOK
KOBOLOK is an ethnic horror game based on an Eastern European fairytale about round bread "Kolobok" aka "O Koblížkovi" aka "Pannkauken".
This is a story about a boy who ran away from his parents and got lost in the woods. The woods were dark and trembling, so the boy wanted to find a new herd, and he did indeed!
That was a wonderful pack full of friendship and unity, but every good essence has its price, and the price for the boy was terrible! A brutal bread contest that was necessary to happen every 3 years. I can not tell you about the contest. If I will, it will be spoiled. So take a deep dive into the mystery!
You escaped from your grandpa, you escaped from your grandma, but you can't escape me!

This game is short, boring and has the world's worst mouse sens that can't be adjusted. It took me only 30 minutes to get both the endings. The story is based on a Slavic fairy tale called "Little Round Bun" in English. Don't really have anything positive to say, tbh.19 found this helpful
Note: This game doesn't work out of the box and is unmaintained. I was only able to get it to run by browsing the game install files and launching the exe from Windows Explorer. It's unacceptable when developers push broken/unmaintained software on Steam. KOBOLOK is your usual Eastern Bloc first person horror jumpscare adventure game, only somehow even worse than all the purely asset flipped ones, with worse graphics, worse gameplay, and more bugs than game. Wander around various awfully rendered and awfully presented locations to avoid a bread themed monster. Yeah, me neither. I'm not really sure if KOBOLOK is an asset flip. Some elements of this game certainly make it seem like the developer put some effort into assembling some kind of original here. On the other hand, a lot of the game assets don't seem like they were created by the developer, but they haven't credited any asset creators for supplying assets, which might be a case of plagiarism. There's no evidence, so we need to give the benefit of the doubt... regardless, asset flip or not, the quality here is indistinguishable from many asset flip/cash grab scams, and that's a problem in itself.

Interesting aesthetic and it sent me down a little bit of a rabbit hole looking up the story it was based on, which was very interesting. It's more of an art project than a game, and it's pretty heavy-handed with the jumpscares/jump scares. You should get it on sale-- it goes for $1 regularly and I do not think it is worth the full price in its current state.
beyond bad
