Indie developer NewFutureKids has fully revealed Bobo Bay, their new pet simulation game inspired by Chao Garden from the Sonic Adventure games.
Bobo Bay is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) with a release set for sometime later next year, in Q4 2025.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a trailer:
Bobo Bay is a pet simulation game where you collect, mash(breed), accessorize, and train little creatures to compete in races and other competitions. You are able to feed your Bobo an old shoe which is kinda funny.
Lots of bobos
There are thousands of combinations of Bobos you can make. Body color, eye color, body part shapes, patterns, sheens, stats, personality traits, etc will all change with each Bobo you find or mash! Distinct Bobo traits and moods will completely change how you interact and care for your Bobos. Don’t forget to dress them up in a fancy little top hat as well.
Bobos start their life as Saplings. Then they grow into a Seedling which is basically their young adult form. As the Bobo ages and changes based on their stats, they will reach a final Bud form. Finally, at some point, the Bobo will Sprout and offer you the chance to let it evolve!
Competitions galore
Races are the main event in this Bobo world. Different companies and organizations from around the globe sponsor different competition series and award unique prizes! Bring your Bobos along to the BRAND NEW AND VERY CLEAN SPORTS COMPLEX to enter them into a competition. Maybe you just want to put your Bobo into the Shiny Ruby Competition Series which consists of 5 beginner races on 5 different maps that focus on Bobo generalists who have decent skills in running, swimming, and climbing. OR maybe you want to train your Bobo to compete in the Nimbus Air® Jump Series which puts Bobos high in the sky jumping across skyscraper rooftops for 3 difficult races.
Once you get more Bobos, sign them all up for a team relay race! Also, you never know maybe your Bobos will compete in other sports too… hmmmm.. hMM!!!!
Bobo Stars
Don’t miss the chance to take down the legendary Bobo Stars. If your Bobo beats one of these blockheads then you’ll be rewarded with a brand new sapling that is the same species as the Bobo Star. These new species open up loads more Bobo customization possibilities since they offer new colors, patterns, and shapes to mash with your other Bobos.
This next sentence is a teaser -> One of the species is a Phantom Bobo. Scary!
Town strolling
Walk through a cute little town to buy accessories for your Bobos to wear, register a new Bobo and see competition history at the Town Hall, purchase snacks for your Bobo to eat, or even adopt a Bobo from the shelter. Remember to go back at night time to see some different shops and options.
Please don’t go in the alley at night. Thanks.
Check the clock
The time and date are very important! All competitions have scheduled dates they will be held. Check the competition calendar on the Sports Complex Jumbotron to sign up for any competitions that seem tempting! Some competitions will take place every day and night, while others might only happen once a week. Plan ahead and make sure your Bobos are ready to eradicate the competition when the time comes.
It will always be worth checking out each area every day and night. You wouldn’t want to miss how rowdy the town gets when celebrating Flag Day!
+ lots more things that I will wait to announce later when I am positive that said feature will actually make it into the game so people can’t screenshot this and send it to me after I decide to cut the feature since it was a bad idea to begin with.
