History Extended - A Year of Blue Prince

Apr 10

Blue Prince launched a year ago today!

To celebrate this noteworthy occasion Trigg & Gusset are releasing a new single, an extended version of ‘History Suspended’ from the Blue Prince OST, reimagined by the dark jazz Dutch duo with a full band. Fittingly, the new track is titled ‘History Extended’.

You can listen to the new track on Youtube and Bandcamp[triggandgusset.bandcamp.com].

Also of note, The Secret Lives of Games, a collective of game developers that have candid conversations with other game creators, are releasing a Blue Prince anniversary episode today featuring Tonda Ros (Obligatory spoiler warning), which will be available to listen to at https://secretlives.games/. The Secret Lives of Games is an incredible interview/conversational series with over 150 episodes of in depth discussions with some of our absolute favorite developers like Daniel Mullins, Derek Yu, and Terry Cavanagh to name a meager few.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has certainly been a remarkable year for the game, Dogubomb and the team here at Raw Fury and we wanted to take a moment to look back at some of the highlights since the game's release.

Blue Prince launched on 10 April 2025 to positive acclaim from reviewers and players alike. We could not have asked for a better reception and such an outpouring of positive reactions from the public, the press, and our community. In fact, at the time of release, (before Clair Obscure entered the arena) Blue Prince was the best reviewed game of the year!

In May we encountered the PS5 Save Issue that impacted players deeper into the game. It took a lot of investigation and working alongside Sony to get to the bottom of this issue and we released a number of patches to attempt to rectify this for our PS5 players. We understand that this was a stressful and frustrating time for all involved and was by far the biggest problem we have encountered since Blue Prince launched. That said, we also wish to acknowledge the patience and assistance from the community to help the team narrow in on a fix. Without the information, save files, and bug reports we would not have been able to identify the problem and work towards a solution. We truly appreciate everyone who brought this to our attention, provided further information when requested and trusted our team.

In June we released our Accolades Trailer compiling a number of quotes from various outlets that had reviewed Blue Prince since launch. It was fantastic to see these altogether in one place. We also released the Music Room Bundle including Blue Prince and the soundtrack by the incredibly talented Trigg & Gusset and the Mac on Steam version was announced.

In July the Games Done Quick crew featured Blue Prince in a manner that we had never imagined seeing it played. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cirrfl1yQ2c It was great to see so many people tuned in for the event and the foam fingers in the crowd and of course how much money was raised for charity.

In August, Blue Prince returned to Gamescom alongside many other titles at the Raw Fury Booth. It was also the month that we teamed up with the legendary Daniel Mullins in the creation of the Black and Blue Bundle featuring Blue Prince and his inky black masterpiece, Inscryption.

September saw the announcement of the first Blue Prince x iam8bit Commissary merch collection. This was something that we had worked on for a long time behind the scenes to get this as perfect as possible. We were thrilled to see this announced and the reception to the collection from the community. The collection included the PS5 physical release, The Red Prince Children's Book, Blue Prince Pin Set, Blue Prince Keychain (blind bag), Blue Prince Basement Key Replica with Stand and the Blue Prince Hardbound Moleskin-style Notebook. September also saw the launch of the Mac on Steam version of Blue Prince.

In October we announced our second Bundle with Myst from Cyan Worlds. (Seeing these two games side by side just felt right!) Later in October, we also learned that Blue Prince was nominated for 3 awards at the Golden Joysticks: Best Indie Game, Best Storytelling and Ultimate Game of the Year.

November included a lot of award nominations for Blue Prince including:

The Unity Awards - Best Desktop/Console Game, Best 3D Visuals and The Golden Cube Award
The Indie Game Awards - Most Innovative & Game of the Year
The Game Awards - Best Independent Game and Best Debut Indie Game

Alongside these incredible nominations were some award wins as well:

Aesthetica Short Film Festival Best Game Award
The Golden Joysticks - Best Indie Game

Things did not slow down in December. We saw Blue Prince included in so many Best Games of 2025 lists that it would be impractical to list them all but we want to thank everyone who included us in their list. It really does mean a lot to the entire team to see our small indie game listed alongside some of the giants from this amazing year.

We also launched the second Gift Shop merch collection with iam8bit that includes The Blue Prince Soundtrack (either 2x LP or CD), Secret Garden Key Replica, Swim Bird Plush, Swim Bird pin, Blueprint Desk Mat and a Stamp & Postcard Set.

Members of the team attended The Game Awards 2025 as Blue Prince was nominated for Best Independent Game and Best Debut Indie that were both taken home by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It was amazing to be nominated and congratulations once again to the other nominees to and to Sandfall Interactive for their historic sweep that night!

Blue Prince did win other awards in December 2025 including:

Unity Awards - The Golden Cube Award
The Indie Game Awards - Most Innovative and Game of the Year
2 Latam Indie Awards - Best Innovation and Indie Debut
NextPlay Awards - Best Puzzle/Strategy Game

Blue Prince was also nominated in 4 categories at the IGN Awards, 5 categories on the BAFTA long list and 2 awards at the New York Videogame Critic’s Circle.

Also in December, Blue Prince launched on the Apple Appstore for Mac.

January started off with a bang as Blue Prince was nominated for 5 DICE Awards! We also saw a restock of the Commissary Merch Collection with iam8bit which sold out in record time. We have been blown away by the popularity of this collection and we will let everyone know if we have further restocks.

The Trophy Room continued to fill in February as we were awarded both the community and jury voted Game of the Year awards at the 3rd Annual Thinky Awards. Swiftly followed by wins for Outstanding Achievement for an Independent Game and Outstanding Achievement in Game Design at the DICE Awards.

March saw Blue Prince arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 when we shadowdropped the game at the Indie World event on 3rd March.

We had been working hard on this highly requested port of the game for some time, so to see the extremely positive response from the community was fantastic. We were very excited to welcome Nintendo Switch 2 players to the Blue Prince community.

After our inclusion in the BAFTA Long List at the end of 2025 we were delighted to see Blue Prince make the shortlist and was officially nominated for 4 BAFTAs!

The Future and The Road to 1.7

We are currently preparing to roll out the 1.7 patch of Blue Prince which marks the completion of a large rollout of accessibility features including Color Assist, Remapping, Cursor Settings, Auto Strolling, and Motion Comfort. While we expect this patch to go live in April, if you would like to test out these features early, feel free to join the patch testing channel in the Laboratory section in our discord[discord.gg]! (Obligatory spoiler warning.)

We have been humbled by the support for Blue Prince over the last year, thank you so much for all the support and enthusiasm,
-Dogubomb and Raw Fury

Alright. Blue Prince is done and dusted. This is a pretty insane, challenging, and yet approachable puzzle game that takes on the persona on node-based roguelikes in large part, mixed with 3-D exploration. It's quite unlike anything else I've played when the totality of all its parts is factored in together.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3705056942

The concept here is that you, Simon P Jones, are the grandnephew of a Baron whose demesne and manor itself feature innumerable mysteries that go back well beyond the Baron's era. In fact, this land has long been the source of great mystery. It's called Mt. Holly Estate and is renowned throughout this world created by the author, which mimics turn of the 20th century technology and atmosphere. When this current Baron, Herbert S. Sinclair dies, you are given the terms of his last will, which names you the sole beneficiary of his estate, providing you can solve the mystery of the 45-room manor by finding room 46. Either the math ain't mathing, or you're in for quite the puzzle adventure trying to find said room.

This is made especially difficult by the very nature of the manor and the fact that the terms of the will stipulate that you aren't allowed to stay in the manor overnight, can take nothing from the manor when you leave, and may bring nothing with you when you enter. This provides the basis for the primary gameplay mechanics in this game.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3708981189

The manor is set-up into a 45-room grid. The only two rooms that remain the same each day in the manor are the entryway, and the antechamber which leads to room 46. Everything in between is randomized. How this works is: each room has a variable number of doors, facing in specific directions depending on the type of room and what direction it's being drafted from. And indeed, when you engage with a door, you will be given three random choices for a room to draft. Your choice determines which room you will be able to enter next. Your goal is link enough rooms together to unlock and access all 45 rooms while trying to figure out how to find and access Room 46.

Additionally, you only get a certain amount of "footsteps" with which to explore the manor. Footsteps are basically your action point pool. When your footsteps are exhausted, so are you, and you must leave the manor to rest and start over the next day. The room layout also resets each day, and so you will be starting from scratch each morning. Outside of permanent upgrades you can find by solving some of the myriad puzzles in the game which aren't directly attached to finding Room 46. Fortunately, footsteps can be replenished during the day by finding food or resting in bedrooms you might choose to draft.

There are room synergies. Drafting certain rooms next to or ahead of other specific rooms enhances their potential. Most rooms have some sort of specific purpose and can provide buff/exploration items; gold/gems/keys; puzzle pieces and clues, footsteps, shortcuts, etc... Some rooms you may wish to draft have a cost in gems. If you don't have the appropriate amount of gems, that eliminates one of your three options for drafting a room. Many rooms are dead ends. Many doors can be locked or are security doors requiring a pass to open. Due to the random nature of your selections and the actual format for each room, it is very possible to lock yourself out of the remainder of the manor and make it impossible to reach the antechamber, much less Room 46 itself. Under those circumstances, you will need to stop for the day/night and start over the next day.

There are a number of types of rooms. Red rooms tend to give you debuffs. Green rooms tend to be beneficial. Gold rooms are shops. Etc... Shops can be used to buy items, key and gems, food, books, lockpicks, etc..

Something to be mindful of is that pretty much everything you see in this game serves a purpose. Even if it's not obvious in the moment. Almost everything is either part of some obscure puzzle that may be for the main quest or might simply be side quest material. The things that aren't specifically part of a puzzle or a clue for such, are for lore building. But even those may have a role in determining that a puzzle even exists.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3708981214

Not everything is in the manor though. Some things will be found on the grounds. And indeed, underground where there is an entirely separate facility, linked by things like false walls, doors that require special keys, levers, and so on. Accessing the underground facilities also requires solving one or more puzzles, lol.

I will tell you this. The gameplay is actually incredibly addictive, and it's so amazingly well thought out that not only do you feel a sense of pride for having found much less solved various puzzles in the game, but you may also feel a sense of amazement each time you stumble across yet another devious puzzle. This is a game with innumerable secrets just waiting to be found. I will also say there's no shame in looking for some advice if you are feeling stumped. Some of the puzzles are so vast that it could take you weeks to figure out on your own. And that's not really an exaggeration. However, once you understand the game's logic and know more or less how the game wants to present its clues to you, you will find the majority of solutions on your own. Ultimately, I only needed help with like three of the puzzles I encountered, and I did eventually actually find the clues anyway later on for those ones. I also know that there is still a lot of game I didn't witness. Expect this one to be something you could either play for twenty hours or play for two hundred hours. It's kinda dependent on what type of gamer you are. But the content is there for both types.

Blue Prince is a must play for puzzle enthusiasts. I don't even think there's any question that you need to play it. However, I would also say that fans of roguelikes also need to consider playing this one. And, if you simply want a unique and polished Indie experience, this also is a game for you. It definitely deserves all the praise it receives.

One final note: have a notebook and pen handy. You're going to want to take notes as you play. Trust me on this.

If you found this review helpful and would be interested in supporting my Curator group, Robilar's Reviews, it would be appreciated. Cheers.

A game that could have been great ruined by annoying RNG. The mystery is compelling yes, but not so much that I want to suffer through re-roll after re-roll. I recommend watching a lore video or something instead of playing this.

【施工中】游戏内文本中翻

游戏内碎片文本是叙事的很大一部分，但是啃英文原文太痛苦了！所以我想试着翻译一下游戏内较长的叙事性文本，包括剪报、邮件、书籍、信件、纸条、乐谱等等。按房间字母顺序排列，如果担心剧透可以善用目录索引。因为刚开始施工所以还完全不能看，只是先挂出来，按个人游戏流程更新（所以可能会缺少一些后期的东西）。个人手动翻译所以进度较为缓慢，捉虫就拜托了。有想要我优先翻译的东西或者想问的问题也可以留言。应该会优先翻译和剧情强相关的东西和较长的文本许多截图来自 https://steamcommunity.com/s

man, what a disappointment. on paper, this game seems perfect. I love puzzles, exploration and mystery. it's simply not fun. if you think you're going to be solving puzzles all the time, you won't - most major puzzles require a bunch of rooms to be drafted in the same run, sometimes next to one another, and that requires pure luck. you can draft carefully, you're still bound to get ♥♥♥♥♥♥. your guy moves like a slug and i can't map the sprint button to the controller. and if you need to stop playing for whatever reason, you are forced to end the run and lose the progress you spent the last 30 minutes making. not to mention this game crashed on me twice on the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fortune telling machine and I lost all progress of my best runs because of it. don't feel like playing long enough to find out if it gets better, because 16 hours in it should already be good.

Spoiler light guides?

I played this back when it launched, had a blast reaching room 46, and played a bit after that. However it felt too much like doing the same thing over and over for not much result (skill issue maybe), so i ended up dropping it. Now it's been a while since the game released, i'm wondering if there are some kind of hinting guides that nudge you toward the right path, for someone interested in the lore but with not much time to figure everything on their own? Any answer is appreciated, thx...

Can someone give me a hint please

I found the black key and the manuscript kinda stuck from here honestly someone hinted it had something to do with the treasure trove. My only 2 theories are 1. use the treasure map in the trove 2. spawn the treasure trove in the outside room with the holly by rinsing, repeating and praying both have yet to test because their both tedious and probably wrong anyway stopped playing months ago cause I couldn't figure it out can someone give me...
