What players say
Good fun, Tedious middle section of the game with some jank mixed in. Great art style which does carry bits of the game but enough content to justify playing

#BULD was a very flawed, but still very fun, interesting, and memorable game. It is a dungeon-crawler, beat-em-up, puzzle action adventure game akin to old school Zelda games with an early 2000's cartoon aesthetic. The story follows Becky Brewster as she starts high school in a new town and gets embroiled in a Vampire Apocalypse/Social media Tech company conspiracy. The biggest positives are this game's animation...
I wish you could give neutral reviews on steam, because this game definitely deserves. The animation is gorgeous, but everything else is positively bland. The gameplay is dull and unengaging, the characters and story leave little impression, and it's obvious that there was a ton of passion behind this project but it just didn't result in a good game.
