Bioframe: Outpost

Bioframe: Outpost is a single-player, narrative-driven exploration game set in a vast world where creatures react to one another in complex ways. You use photography to explore, learn how creatures behave and find ways to use them to solve problems. The ecosystem can create unexpected outcomes, and your understanding of it can open up new tactics and gameplay possibilities.

Explore the ecosystem

Photographing creatures can stun them and reveal behavioural quirks held in their many AI states. You can use what you learn to affect the world around you. For example, you can Photo-Stun a Laser Plant to take its Glow Orb, attach it to a nervous Lizard and have the Lizard light the way through a dark cave.

The game has a huge number of creatures with distinct AI states and behaviours, alongside non-linear puzzles. Its photography mechanic is part of both exploration and problem-solving.

Use the world

Bioframe has no guns or other conventional weapons. You can use anything in the world offensively or defensively, according to your preferences and knowledge of the environment. For instance, you can lure vampiric butterflies with their favourite food, add them to your inventory and release them near enemies as a portable attack swarm.

Campaign and music

The game includes a massive narrative-driven single-player campaign and an ambient soundtrack by the musician behind Eufloria.
