About Potat
Potat is a chaotic physics-based 3D adventure where you control a sentient potato trying to escape a house before being cooked. Developed by Hexe Circles Studio and released on December 31, 2026, it blends quirky humor with platforming challenges. You roll, flip, and flop through absurdly designed rooms filled with traps like boiling pots and collapsing floors. The game runs on PC and is strictly single player. Its charm lies in the ridiculous premise and the satisfying, if frustrating, physics-driven movement. Think of it as a slapstick escape room where the protagonist is a tuber with a death wish.
Gameplay
You spend most of the game dodging hazards while maintaining momentum. Rolling is your primary move, but uneven terrain forces you to flip or tumble to avoid getting stuck. The physics engine makes every action unpredictable, bounce off walls, get flung by springs, or fall into pitfalls. Each level is a maze of shifting objects and timed obstacles, requiring precise timing. You’ll replay sections often after botching a jump or getting boiled. Controls are simple but demand quick reflexes. The lack of checkpoints adds tension, but the absurdity of the situations keeps it entertaining. Progression feels earned through trial and error rather than skill alone.
