In the ever-evolving landscape of gaming, the decision to forgo sequels can often lead to more innovative and creative storytelling. This is exemplified by the indie hit Blue Prince, which has garnered acclaim not just for its gameplay but for its creator’s choice to explore new narratives rather than simply cashing in on a sequel. By doing so, developer Tonda Ros opens the door to a broader universe, allowing for fresh ideas and unique experiences that can stand on their own.

When you think of competitive esports, titles like fast-paced shooters and complex MOBAs often come to mind. However, the recent showcase of Blue Prince during the Summer Games Done Quick event has proven that even a single-player puzzle game can captivate audiences as a thrilling spectator sport. Speedrunners Randringtail and BobbyBurm engaged in a riveting B Quest Bingo race, turning the games intricate mechanics into an electrifying competition. The format was simple yet challenging: both players raced against the clock to complete objectives on a bingo board based on Blue Princes layout.
