What it is

This is a free, co-op, fan-made recreation of the game SBURB from Homestuck. Players combine items using an alchemy system to progress through gates and defeat enemies.

What players liked

It's a fun, faithful recreation of Sburb, praised for its potential despite early access bugs.

The catch

Years old game breaking bugs and softlocks stop runs before they get anywhere.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 86% positive, but with 2,321 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
