Since we last invited Research Participants to experience Bionic Bay, the team have been working on new tweaks, polishes and adding in a number of deathtraps clever puzzles. While the new Bionic Bay Online mode is undoubtedly the star of the show, Research Participants will find a lot more to be getting along with.

In Bionic Bay Online, research Participants will race through an area prepped with a significant number of hazards and obstacles. You’ll need to use all of the tools at your disposal to set the best time you can, including swap mechanics, gravity shift and the ChronoLag™ time dilation features.

Set a time in the Bionic Bay Online Leaderboards, challenge your friends and compete against your fellow research participants.

Research Participants! Somebody who shall remain unnamed (KEVIN) has been left unattended with Bionic Bay’s ChronoLag time dilation technology. Because of this unnamed person (STILL KEVIN) we’ll be releasing Bionic Bay with a slight delay to April 17th 2025.

However, in the meantime, we’ll be inviting Research Participants to dive into Bionic Bay with a new Steam demo (coming soon), including pulse-pounding racing with Bionic Bay Online’s friends and global leaderboards for PC players.

The world of Bionic Bay is mysterious and packed with secrets waiting to be found. It lands onto Steam on 13th March next year.

Wishlist now!

Cinematic platformer Bionic Bay opens on a scene of a very large egg doing very bad things - easily my third favourite genre of speculative fiction. You awake to a world of tree trunks that twist like viscera and corroded contraptions powered by luminous goop that’s stored in the balls, uh, big glass orbs. A beam of light soon fills your character with newfound vigour, which is a nice moment of triumph in what otherwise feels like a deeply oppressive rust pit, all unsteady platforms and jagged pipes.

It doesn’t take long before you start spotting examples of the reason Bionic Bay went viral earlier this week. Above your head hangs a painstakingly detailed mass of vents and cables, looming lifelike with dust and shadow and history. I stood and stared because I’d seen how the sausage was made, but I like to think I would have lingered longer than usual anyway. It really is just that impressive.
