A survival horror puzzle game about exploring an abandoned children's toy, stalked by the shambling husks of scrapped concepts that pursue you endlessly throughout the environment as you try to solve the cryptic puzzles left behind by the developers and keep your pet alive.

About
From: John
Subject: Bubbaruka
Hey, it's been a little bit!
I know it's a bit strange for me to Email you out of the blue, but I thought you'd be interested in this. You remember that old toy? The one that was supposed to be like a pet in your keychain? The one that never got released?
Well I found it.
I was just cruising around eBay, and I found a super cheap laptop for sale. The owner acted real weird, refused to take phone calls, only let me talk to him via Email. But you know, cheap product cheap service.
Turns out the laptop had something in it already, a folder called Bubbaruka.
The name jogged so many memories, I remember begging my mom to get me one for Christmas. Never knew why they didn't release them. They would've made tons.
But It's here! Seems fully functioning, just like the commercials! I didn't start much, I rushed to Email you first. I know you're into lost media, missing games, that sort of thing. This is right up your alley, right? Still, It's a bit buggy. It definitely seems unfinished, and some of the features straight up don't seem to work, but it's a fun nostalgia trip.
Welp, I'm gonna go play the game for like, 30 minutes before I get bored and forget it exists. Talk to you later!

The toy of the modern age! Endless fun for all ages! Pick an egg, and you now have your very own Bubby! Feed it, play with it, and watch it grow! The possibilities with your Bubby are endless!
But be careful, sometimes, things might be lurking in the shadows. Don't stray too far from the path. Don't be an explorer. Don't be a hero.
There's a reason the game was never released. A reason the world isn't ready for. Don't look into it. Don't follow the whispers.
Don't peel back the curtain.
Don't solve the puzzles.
Don't go through the cracks in the surface.
Don't touch them.
Don't follow them.
Don't let them catch you.
Take heed of these warnings
Or suffer the consequences.

Sorry, had to request a refund on this. The beginning area drops me off collecting five coins, and after collecting and going to the exit plays a cut scene and then shuts the game off on its own. After about 45 mins doing this and getting nowhere, I have decided to get a refund. Looks like a cool game and I like the cryptic stuff...maybe it is me idk.
very underrated horror gem

This game needs more light. It was an amazing horror game with only a few confusing moments, but none frustrating. Recommend
Tomo is my favorite Bubby. All the Bubbies from Bubbruka! are great in their own right, but Tomo's (T_T) Face is truly a mood. But Tomo's smile at the end of Chapter 1 is truly what left an impression on me.
Con un incipit per l'infanzia Bubbaruka si svela un horror profondo che avremmo potuto giocare sul gameboy se fosse entrato in una cartuccia. I temi sono quelli della corruzione della mente, della frustrazione della produzione video ludica, della famiglia e delle rinunce. Il tutto raccontato senza l'ausilio della grafica pompata. In questo forse assomiglia ad Obra Dinn e a molti giochi horror retro come C.h.a.i.n. I puzzle non sono molto complicati ma bisogna avere buona memoria e orientamento per le location in quanto non si ha sempre a disposizione una mappa. In generale mi sarei aspettato di più dalla narrazione comunicando meglio la problematica dello sviluppo nelle software house ma tutto sommato è un gioco molto godibile.
小众而优秀的模拟恐怖游戏,虽然剧情方面通过游戏世界呈现现实世界发生的事这种叙事方法有点逻辑上的问题,但仍然是一款瑕不掩瑜的游戏
[strike] This game was so fun and scary and then you get to the final boss. Any fun or fear you were feeling gets replaced by annoyance as you try to beat this boss with the jankiest, most horrid controls imaginable. And on top of that, the boss just takes FOREVER. Every single attack it does it followed up by 10 seconds of the boss doing an animation and screaming, while you have to just wait and hope it does one of its attacks that can actually be reflected for damage. Overall, its just a horribly designed boss fight that makes you not care about seeing the ending. [/strike] Update: They fixed the final boss and I was able to beat it on my first retry! I'm so happy they fixed it, I finally was able to see the finale and the post game. The post game was fun, but once again it was kinda ruined by a poorly designed boss fight (why does this game need such horribly long boss fights?!)
Scratches that RPG maker horror itch, lots of content
A lovely little game that, despite a glitch or two during my playthrough, was the highlight of my day! I enjoyed the plot that slowly was developed throughout. There were genuinely some parts that made me jump a bit. Nothing severely terrifying to the point I couldn't sleep. Though my friend did have nightmares LOL! 9/10, extremely lovely, one day I'll figure out how to display it on my profile as my favorite even if it kills me
