The Kickstarter-backed adventure game revival brought us the likes of Broken Age, Night in the Woods, Beacon Pines, a whole bunch of remasters and remakes, and I suppose Undertale, but among all those you might have missed Bulb Boy. This 2D point-and-click from 2015 brought a Tim Burton flair to the genre, tasking you with saving your family—including Grandpa-raffin and Mothdog—from the dark monsters that have overtaken your home.

Bringing light to the darkness is made a bit easier by the fact you are Bulb Boy, a boy who can unscrew your lightbulb head to help you solve puzzles.

Bulb Boy is currently available for free on
