Garten of Banban is a horror and exploration game set inside Banban’s Kindergarten, an establishment whose inhabitants have mysteriously vanished. The central activity is investigating the abandoned location, learning more about the Banban And Friends Gang, and uncovering the truth behind the disappearance while moving through an unsettling environment.
Searching the kindergarten for clues
Exploration is tied to the search for clues and hidden objects scattered throughout the kindergarten. These discoveries may help unravel the mystery, so the game presents the building as more than a series of corridors to cross. Players are encouraged to pay attention to details in the surroundings as they investigate what happened to the people who disappeared.
Using the flying companion
A flying drone accompanies the player through the complex corridors. According to the source, it can assist with puzzles, help access hard-to-reach areas, and reveal secret passageways. Its surveillance capabilities are also described as a way to remain alert to potential dangers in the kindergarten. This makes the drone a connected exploration tool as well as a companion during the investigation.
Meeting the Banban And Friends Gang
The Banban And Friends Gang forms part of the game's story. Players interact with the kindergarten's mascots and discover the individual story behind each character, including their role in the mysterious disappearance. These encounters add character-focused information to the broader investigation rather than presenting the setting as an empty building.
An eerie atmosphere
The game combines unsettling visuals and atmospheric sound design to establish a chilling tone throughout Banban’s Kindergarten. The source encourages players to observe the environment closely because details may contain important clues. Together with the abandoned setting, the mascots, and the unexplained disappearance, these elements frame the adventure as an investigation through a threatening and mysterious location.
