Developed by Runic Games · Published by Arc Games





You guide a silent adventurer across a planet in disarray, working to repair it. With no dialogue or text, the story unfolds through exploration and visual details.
Explore connected ruins, solve environmental puzzles, and activate mechanisms that physically reshape the landscape. Changes to the world reveal paths and areas to investigate.
Use a mechanical arm to grapple, punch, and warp through the environment, as well as fight rogue creatures. Find upgrades and secrets as you explore and gain new ways to move through the world.
Players who enjoy Hob often praise the way exploration connects with a world that shifts as they activate mechanisms, along with its puzzles, colorful environments, and quiet atmosphere. Some also appreciate its movement and light combat, though these elements are less consistently praised. Recurring criticisms include unclear directions that can leave players searching for the next path, camera or control frustrations during platforming, and reports of bugs or performance problems.
