ABOUT
Bodhi 'n' Friends is a first-person indie horror game where you will be spending the week at Monster Crunch Interactive, your old game studio, now set up again and ready to go.
You play as Thomas, a former programmer & game developer.
Your old friend, who co-founded a game studio with you, contacts you 4 years after the studio shut down and you both parted ways following a major controversy. He tells you he's got the studio set back up again and would love to discuss a new game project with you. What could it be?
As you play through the game, you will learn more about the origins and backstory behind Monster Crunch Interactive and its founders. You will also learn about the origins of the Friends and how they came to be.
Are you ready to become a Friend?

I did a full series for your game, each episode video has its own day! Very good game with nice story! I loved the puzzles too:

Thanks for playing! :) I appreciate it a lot
Of course! Your game is actualy good!
I had this game for a while now, never thought it will be this good! I had to try it out, cool story too! Is this a real story?
One element of the story (the floods) is inspired by floods I had been through around the time of making the game, but the rest of the story isn't based on anything IRL. Thanks for playing! :D
Oh.. So you have been in a floody situation xD! I must say, the story feels realistic in terms of what could happen in a small gaming studio haha... Glad I had the chance to experience this.
Glad you like it!
This game is fire! Please do make a sequel out of this game!!!
:))))
Glad you like it! :)
This game is really well made, i had a lot of jumpscares even if i know monsters are not real
Awesome! :)
デモをプレイした時からずっと待っていました!完全なリリースをありがとう:)
ハードゲームでは途中まで設定ミスで泣きそうになりましたが、イージーゲームでも最後は難しく諦めかけていました。
カノンエンドをクリアできてよかったのですが、他にいくつのエンドがありますか...これからはゆっくりとっていきたいと思います。
Thanks for playing! Version 1.1 will have some difficulty balances to make the game easier since a bunch of people have told me they find some areas a bit difficult. Also, there are about 6 endings. Again, thanks for playing and glad to see you finished! :)
I have been following Bodhi n Friends development for quite some time now & honestly, I am really impressed with the final result. Lachlan has shown many dev logs on his journey with this game, and so many cool features have been added as a result.
I really like the phone mechanic where you can read messages, use the flashlight and even have a draining battery so people can't spam it all the time. There has been some real thought into the overall game design because of this. For example, not all light switches work, and if your battery dies, so does your torch. Thankfully there are handy charging stations scattered around monster crunch studio that lets you top it back up.
The game is also very well polished overall. I maintain a constant 60fps in 4K high settings, and again, I know Lachlan has done a good job at ensuring LODS are available so that it is playable on a wide range of machines.
The game is pretty scary overall as well with many of the friends stalking you throughout the hallway. There is lots to do and lots of lore to find with mini games being playable within the testing room. It's really neat.
I wanted to get the review in early to help people with their buying decision, and I wholeheartedly recommend this game. I know mascot horror is on the rise at the moment, but at least this one has some genuine soul and life into it that many will find appealing.
Thanks, Aaron. :)
Congrats on the release Lachlan. Very pleased for you!
Thanks for the support on everything
