Overview

Blue Prince is a first-person puzzle-adventure game developed by Dogubomb (Company) and published digitally by Raw Fury (Company) for the PlayStation 5 (Platform), Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Platform) on April 10, 2025.

As the heir to the secluded manor Mt. Holly, players explore the mansion's numerous, shifting rooms in search of its elusive 46th room, all while uncovering various mysteries concerning the estate and its past inhabitants. The game is known for combining the first-person, puzzle-solving, exploration of games like Myst (Game) and Gone Home (Game) with the procedurally-generated map-building of a board game and the multi-run crawl of a modern roguelike.

On each in-game day, players make a "run" of the mansion, whose 5×9 floor plan is completely oblivious save for the Entrance Hall at the near end and the Antechamber at the far end. As they encounter closed doors, they must "draft" one of three "rooms" at random (from a deck of room cards) to determine what's on the other side, each of which have specific requirements, benefits or drawbacks, and lore to uncover. Several rooms have different puzzles to solve, and new items, rooms, and upgrades to unlock. The game makes use of different currencies (keys for unlocking doors, gems for drafting higher-grade rooms, and gold coins for buying items), and each run ends once the player gets too tired to venture further (represented as "steps"), although some parts of the game (such as unlocked room cards, stored items, and notes players can write down) are kept for future runs.
