Bradley the Badger

Lore & Background

The game follows an anthropomorphic badger-like mascot named Bradley, who is the star of his own game, Bradley the Badger, developed by the fictional game company Dreamwoods Games. One morning, excited about his platforming game, he discovers his world has become unfinished through spoofed games from Badgerborne to Cyberbadger, all themed around Bradley but taken to a glitched turn. Players control Bradley through these worlds and, using a special game controller, can control the worlds around them through special black and white assets—resizing them, copying them, or turning Bradley into a ball to roll up assets or enter small buildings.
