As I entered the fifth room in my preview of Blue Prince, I knew I was doomed.
This game has a decent chance of becoming my whole personality for a few days when it comes out.
Blue Prince lays the groundwork for its mystery in its first few minutes.
You’re told you might’t stay in the mansion overnight or take items out of it.
When you do, you’re offered a choice of three random rooms that a door can lead to.
Some rooms promise keys that can be used to unlock locked doors or chests.
Occasionally, they just help you keep moving forward.
When you wake up, you head back into the foyer and start again.
Digging into roguelite mechanics, there are ways to make some progress in the game.
There are mysteries and unlocks to find outside the mansion as well.
Blue Prince is a remarkably simple game to play.
I know how to do math!
Nine times five is only 45!
HOW CAN THERE BE A 46th ROOM?
Playing the game felt a lot like trying The Forgotten City or Outer Wilds for the first time.
I know what the goal is.
I know how all the mechanics work.
Blue Prince is set to launch for PC.
