Bearnard

Bearnard is a single-player adventure about a bear on a mission to reclaim the legendary bow and defend his woodland from looming threats. You travel through varied landscapes, face enemies, solve physics-driven puzzles and use cards in turn-based battles, while also navigating handcrafted levels in real-time platforming sections.

Explore the woodland

Bearnard travels through forests, mines, snowy mountains, castles and dark dungeons. Each biome has its own challenges, obstacles and enemies. You can search for secrets and collect artifacts as you make your way through the levels.

Build and play your deck

You find cards in special chests and expand your deck with common, rare, epic and legendary cards. Their abilities include healing, defense and crowd control, and elemental cards can be combined to create powerful combos. In turn-based combat, you choose when to play each card to outmaneuver hostile creatures.

Solve puzzles and use the environment

Puzzles call for both skill and intelligence. You can shoot an arrow at a lever to open a locked passage or trigger a platform that launches Bearnard to new heights. The surroundings can also help you fight: drop chandeliers onto enemies or throw crates to crush them.

Take on bonus levels

Bonus levels test your platforming skills and strategy with challenges that call for precision, creativity and quick thinking. Completing them earns gold, silver or bronze medals. These medals do not directly affect gameplay and serve as records of your accomplishments.

Bearnard and Blue

Bearnard has a sharp wit, and his owl sidekick Blue can fetch objects that are out of reach or deliver essential cards. The game also features an animation of Bearnard wiggling his ears.
