Bolu

Bolu is a story-based survival and simulation game set in a dream on an island at Abant Lake in Bolu, Turkey. You play a newly recruited worker stationed in an unknown land far from the city. After stealing a weapon cared for by a colleague, you dream that a fire breaks out at the radio tower and you and your colleagues disappear. You then find yourself at Abant Lake, where the adventure begins.

Survive on the island

The island is an unrealistic version of Abant Lake, where real and unreal things greet you and various animals await. Your main goal is to escape: someone must take you from the island, or you will die in reality as you did in the dream. You explore the surroundings, complete missions and try to uncover what you need to escape, including the password to a locked room in an abandoned hotel. You can also make a deal with someone underground to help end the dream.

To survive, gather resources, build a home and shelter yourself from aggressive animals at night. You can cook meat and fish over a campfire, and set simple fishing nets to catch fish. The game is described as difficult.

Work with materials

Bolu has a workbench system where you crush materials such as neon and coal into powder. You can combine different mined materials to make bullets, then use them to fight aggressive animals.

Examine and craft

You can examine almost every item in the game, and some have special animations. You can also set up a workbench, process mined materials, build shelters, make fishing nets and cook food.
