Bebok is a post-apocalyptic, story driven short adventure game for Gameboy. It was created for GB Compo 2023 using GB Studio, Tiled, Piskel and Paint (no shame in the last one!).  It's my first experience with this toolset. 

The story may seem simple but I tried to smuggle some of my thoughts, joys, fears and experiences in it. I hope you enjoy. If you played it, please leave a comment!

Feel free to look up manual if you are stuck and let me know if you encounter a bug. 

You can play the game directly in browser. If you want, rom file can be played on original Gameboy hardware or on emulator.

Very cute game, I enjoyed playing it. 

I ultimately chose to assassinate the Ur city leader, partly because I felt the Machines had a capacity for change (even seemed to be sapience-developing in real time) and deserved their shot at the planet to see how they do. There was just enough story to keep me satisfied with solving the villagers' problems and some of them were very pathos-inducing. 

I also enjoyed the atmosphere overall. 

Thank you for making it! 

I can't describe how awesome my day just become from reading this comment! Thank you for checking it out and getting invested in this bit-sized adventure. Thank you for playing! 

Nice, very cute, love the introduction and the story intro.

Thank you!
