For Immediate Release:
BUSAN, SOUTH KOREA, NOVEMBER 11, 2026 — Independent publisher Dark Product and developer Bulbware are delighted to announce that Bulb Boy Anthology is available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, bringing together two of indie gaming's most delightfully disturbing adventures in one complete collection.
Combining the original Bulb Boy with its long-awaited sequel, Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair, the anthology invites console players into a world where childhood nightmares, absurd comedy, grotesque monsters and surprisingly touching storytelling collide.
At the centre of it all is Bulb Boy himself. A small, glowing hero with a detachable head, a deeply peculiar family, and a remarkable ability to find himself in situations that no child, light bulb or otherwise, should ever have to endure.
Two adventures. Twice the nightmares.
The journey begins with the original Bulb Boy, the acclaimed point-and-click horror adventure in which a terrifying darkness has consumed the Bulbhouse. With his family missing and grotesque creatures lurking in every room, Bulb Boy must explore his transformed home, solve twisted puzzles and use his unusual abilities to restore the light.
The nightmare continues in Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair, where an apparently innocent request from Grandparaffine to retrieve a jar of jam sends our unfortunate hero into the darkest depths of the basement.
What follows is a deliciously disgusting adventure involving sticky jelly monsters, bizarre puzzles, disturbing discoveries and a particularly unpleasant creature with designs on Bulb Boy's head.
Beautifully grotesque. Unmistakably Bulb Boy.
Inspired by classic animation and the surreal energy of 1990s cartoons, the Bulb Boy series has established a distinctive identity through its expressive characters, grotesque creature designs, visual storytelling and unconventional approach to horror.
Rather than relying on traditional dialogue, the games communicate their stories through animation, expressive reactions and visual humour, creating adventures that feel simultaneously charming, unsettling and completely ridiculous.
With both adventures brought together in a single collection for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Bulb Boy Anthology offers newcomers the opportunity to experience the complete story while giving longtime fans a chance to revisit the Bulbhouse and its many horrors.
A distinctive voice in independent horror
The original Bulb Boy earned acclaim for its unusual blend of point-and-click adventure, dark comedy and beautifully unsettling artwork.
Adventure Gamers described it as "A superb game that excels in just about every area," while Rock Paper Shotgun praised it as "An unusually stylish creation."
With the arrival of Bulb Boy 2, the series has continued to develop its remarkable universe, preserving the personality of the original while introducing fresh puzzles, new creatures and even more outrageous situations.
Available now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S
