About Blue Prince

Blue Prince is a genre-defying atmospheric architectural adventure unlike anything you may have played before. You navigate the shifting corridors and build the manor as you explore room by room, step by step and day by day creating a truly unique gaming experience. Pairing this with the many mysteries and puzzles that Mount Holly holds, finding Room 46 is only the beginning.

Blue Prince is an IGF, Tribeca, Game Awards, and Golden Joystick nominated game, that launched in April 2025 to near-unanimous critical praise. Gamespot called it "one of the most memorable video game experiences I have ever had”, and The Gamer said “I’ve never played anything like this.” Blue Prince is one of the best reviewed games of 2025 according to Metacritic, with a Metascore of 92.

After eight years of development, the reception of the game has been unreal and humbling.


The Game Awards

Blue Prince has also recently been nominated in two categories at The Game Awards:

• Best Independent Game
  
• Best Debut Indie Game
  

We are so excited to have been nominated alongside so many other truly incredible games. Voting is now open for these and all other categories at: https://thegameawards.com

The Golden Joystick Awards

We were thrilled to be awarded the Best Indie Game at The Golden Joystick Awards last week. We were included in this category alongside a host of amazing indie games. We want to extend our congratulations to our fellow nominees and the winners of all categories.



Blue Prince is also 34% off from 24 November - 8 December.
