Discover A Mysterious and Haunted World

Explore a diverse and interconnected world in a 2.5D side-scrolling action-platformer with Metroidvania elements. Journey to a haunted castle, a thriving Japanese-inspired metropolis, and many more strange and wondrous places—then find ways to travel back and fully explore newly unlocked paths and surprises.

Beautiful Hand-Drawn Art And Animation!

The vast inter-connected world of Bō is brought vividly to life in a traditional, hand-drawn style.

Fluorescent caves, raging oceans, glorious pagodas, and landscapes with traditional Japanese inspired trimmings are illustrated in exquisite detail.

Tight and Fluid Movement

Navigate the world’s platforming challenges with acrobatic precision, elegance, and finesse. Use Bō’s distinctive move-and-reset system to reach new areas efficiently or recover when your footing flounders.

Fluid jumping, bouncing and acrobatic movement is taken to a new level of complexity and becomes central to the gameplay.

A Cast Of Colorful Characters

Engage with a larger-than-life cast of bizarre and adorable yokai (supernatural spirits from Japanese folklore) and other original characters inspired by Japanese myth, all brought to life with traditional hand-drawn 2D frame-by-frame animation.

Help them with their side quests—or just stop by for a chat and a cup of tea.

Mythic Boss Battles

Challenge massive, awe-inspiring monsters drawn from Japanese folklore! You’ll need to call upon all of the knowledge and acrobatic skill you’ve gained to vanquish these powerful adversaries and advance further in your quest.
