About TRY AGAIN

✦ AI summary

TRY AGAIN is a 2.5D platformer where you guide Benny, a test character fighting obsolescence, through a constantly shifting development facility while solving puzzles and mastering challenging platforms to secure his place as the game's true protagonist. By exploiting the rules of this gray-box world and challenging the Designer's whims, you'll break Benny free from his predetermined fate and rewrite his narrative from temporary character to main hero.


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.

✦ AI summary

TRY AGAIN is a short game that players praise for its engaging story, excellent voice acting, and charming character development, all wrapped in simple, accessible controls. The main complaint is its brevity, with playthroughs lasting only 10-15 minutes, leaving many players wishing for more content. Despite the length, reviewers consistently describe it as a worthwhile experience worth playing through.

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
