Bilkins' Folly

About

Percy Bilkins is out to track down his vanished family, dragging his loyal dog Drayton across a chain of strange islands. As you guide him through sunken ruins and overgrown jungles, you’ll rearrange objects to unlock paths, decode cryptic symbols to open doors, and dig up chests full of gold. The puzzles escalate from simple tinkerings to brain-bending spatial challenges, all while piecing together why Percy’s relatives disappeared. The game balances goofy moments like Percy arguing with parrots against darker hints about his family’s past. With hand-drawn environments that shift from misty swamps to volcanic peaks, there’s visual variety even if the core loop stays familiar. It launched on October 2, 2023, and sits on Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC. Fans of light-hearted adventures with a dash of mystery might find it comfortably quirky, though the puzzle difficulty curve has drawn some mixed reactions online.
