About TRY AGAIN


You play as Benny, a video game character whose testing days appear to be over as he teeters on the brink of obsolescence by a mercurial, unseen Designer, crunching to meet a deadline. Set in a bunker-like, test facility, you must grapple with challenging platforms, fast-paced puzzles, and an ever-changing facility dictated by the whims of the insecure Designer. With time running out, navigate the gray-box labyrinth of development, upend the norms of character progression, and champion Benny to solidify his place as the game’s lead character.

Your mission is more than just survival in this fast-paced, 2.5d platformer. You are trying to break free from your "temporary" status as a test character. Claim the title you've always desired - the main character. Master the gameplay, exploit the rules, and seize control of your narrative.

But this isn't just about winning—it's about breaking the Sisyphean hell Benny is trapped in. Challenge the limits of your coded existence and break the chains of pre-determined outcomes. This is your chance to redefine what it means to Try Again.

Extremely disappointing. I know free to play games are typically just short demos, but this was almost nothing even by those standards, because nothing gives me the impression it has interest in expanding itself into a larger game, and it's not like I'd really want that becuase it's just Portal meets Inside except neither funny nor atmospheric thanks to Nolan North's Drake-esque quippy dialogue.

Great game; story could've been something more. Hoping for a sequel for it about what happens to Benny in the final build.
