Desolate surrealism and amusing traversal options, Babbdi reflects both the best and worst of similar sandbox cities like those found in Paradise Killer or Tales from Off-Peak City. The world is empty in a way that communicates and satisfies via strangely-placed bursts of sound and stimulus that reward falling through the cracks and getting lost.

Beyond that however, is an incredibly loose discussion of many things, needing player thought to shape its narrative and purpose. It's very like staring at a painting. You still feel enriched after experimenting with Babbdi, but if any part of it really grabs you it will grab you entirely, demanding your attention for as long as you can give it.
