Inky Blinky Bob
The announcement for a new title, Inky Blinky Bob, is out there, with Inky Blinky Bob offering up a Hot Air Balloon as our main mode of transportation
We all love video games, as they give us new experiences we might never have, and that is what it looks like Inky Blinky Bob is going to set out to do. This is the new title that Eldelic Games is working on currently for the PC, and one that will place us into a weaponized hot air balloon. Not something I'm sure many would have had on their BINGO cards to experience out there, but now you can look forward to just that. Even though this is part of the first announcement for Inky Blinky Bob, that wait doesn't seem like it is going to be a long one as well. Especially with this one aimed to hit Steam on March 20th of this year. Not long at all for us to wait.
If all of that sounds a little silly, take note that it is, since Inky Blinky Bob is set as a horror comedy more than just a direct horror title out there. In this one, we'll be setting off into a world that has been dominated by a biotech organization that has let things run a little out of control. Mutants are everywhere, the world is in shambles, and we need to take on various missions out there to bring some kind of order back into the mix. All while we gear up for the showdown with Inky Blinky Bob, a colossal octopus hot air balloon monster. All in a manner of things that, the team has described it as Lovecraftian horror meets Monty Python. The following video for the game does feel like it leans more into the horror than it does any of the comedy out there. Have a look and see what is floating our way very soon.
Inky Blinky Bob — Announcement
Players take on the role of a detective dispatched to investigate unexplained signals emanating from a chain of isolated islands controlled by the secretive biotech organisation Quantum Corp. What begins as a routine mission quickly spirals into a violent, otherworldly mystery, uncovering the aftermath of failed experiments, mutated creatures, and the looming presence of Inky Blinky Bob itself.
From storm-swept coastlines to underground laboratories, players will engage in grounded combat, uncover story-driven quests from bizarre NPCs, and pilot a heavily armed hot air balloon to traverse the skies, gather resources, and prepare for a singular, climactic aerial confrontation with the game’s titular monster. Weapons and the airborne vessel can be upgraded using materials collected through exploration and combat.
Although the game unfolds primarily at night and embraces an ominous atmosphere, its presentation is intentionally stylized rather than realistic. Exaggerated character designs, surreal skies, twisted environments, and dark humour consistently undercut the horror, creating a tone that veers between menace and madness and gives the game a distinctive, immediately recognisable identity.
Inky Blinky Bob is scheduled to launch on Steam for PC on March 20, 2026.

Does Inky Blinky Bob sound like a nice little break from the hardcore in gaming you might need? Will there be more horror in the game than comedy? Why do you think we are going to need to use a hot air balloon instead of a different flying vehicle? Are we going to be a lone savior or another test subject in the mix of all of this out there?
