Reviews

“a short, smart tale of domestic horror... that hit far closer to home than most”


“I found Bonbon to be an extremely creepy and unsettling experience, exactly what I want from a horror game. So would I recommend it? Most definitely: it’s the perfect game to play if you have 30 minutes free very late at night on Halloween, just before bed.”


“I haven't been able to get it out of my head ... [delivers] as memorably as possible then conclude[s] while I'm still stewing over the ramifications ... The dark contain[s] the thing you most hope it doesn't, exactly when you don't want to see it ... the most effective jumpscare I've ever experienced.”

About This Game

Bonbon is a thirty-minute long, first-person domestic horror narrative about childhood events you are too young to understand.

Playing as a young toddler, walking and carrying objects will be difficult. You will drop things, and you will fall over. Since your parents aren't there to pick you up, you'll be spending time with a large, overbearing and ambiguous visitor... a monstrous, hungry rat named Bonbon.

You can play with mouse and keyboard, or a 360-style gamepad.

Please note that the game is a short, single-sitting experience. It will take between 20 to 40 minutes to complete, depending on how you play.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The player character is a young child who is being traumatised by a giant humanoid rat who appears in the house one day. The traumatic events are symbolic and related to domestic issues. Physical violence is extremely mild, but some players might find the threatening atmosphere to be uncomfortable.
