Description
The concept of "Badlands" has had many interpretations but it usually refers to an environment where you don't want to be such as the dangerous world of Badland. Even so, it's exciting in a way as you never know what kinds of dangers will be lurking ahead and whether you'll be able to respond to them effectively. You're playing as a harmless creature living in a pretty bleak and hazardous area, but at least you can fly and maneuver around to get to safety. In fact, that's your only means of defense so thank goodness you're small, agile, and to some extent, adaptable.
About Badland
The whole silhouette style of the game creates a feeling of uncertainty with a somber tone as it plunges everything into the realm of the unknown. This game uses it throughout, but you still get the full picture without ever losing that feeling. The world may be desolate, but you're not and that's the whole premise of this game. The world is trying to take you down but you have such a strong urge to survive and live that you're willing to squeeze through the tightest spots just to make that happen. You end up rooting for the little creature and you want to help them succeed.
