In Full Bloom 2026 Demo Comes With An Insatiable Appetite

By:Musu Murray

We’ve all had a few moments in our lives where we could have scarfed down as much food as we could and never felt full. Now, put that moment into a creature you have to keep alive by feeding it whatever you can. In Full Bloom gives us a short but straightforward task: feeding a creature called The Mouth and watching it grow to Eldritch proportions.

It’s like any other day when you, the player, go about your casual routine of caring for your creature… wait, what? In Full Bloom, you’re introduced to your cute Eldritch abomination called The Mouth, a grey hunk of clay-like matter with a human-ish mouth that will eat just about anything. It will eat regular food, grubs, squirrels, people, and a town.

With each serving you give The Mouth, it will grow and develop so it can eat more complex things. More food equals more teeth equals more it puts on. Noticing its unending appetite and growing form, you start to wonder if the responsibility for caring for this creature is truly the right thing. A bigger creature means a bigger serving size, and you can’t feed it spoonfuls forever. That is, unless you want to put yourself on the platter.

The devs behind In Full Bloom, Obleak Games, have released the demo that shows enough to know that the situation is bleak. A grey-scaled palette with a pencil-drawn texture is styled with a whimsical design that gives an unnatural wonder. The appealing art style is very Tim Burton-esque with a dash of Junji Ito shading and crosshatching, complementing this very weird and quirky concept. With the stiff and crooked structures of the little town the character resides in, the monster’s movement is a bit more eerie.

The trailer doesn’t give much for the sound design, but it emits a simple sound along with The Mouth’s chewing noises. It’s not loud, but it’s just enough to make you cringe and back away from your computer. Given that The Mouth is considered an Eldritch being, the soundscape will very likely contain some sound creativity, such as reverb and dynamic effects, and modulation effects.The background sound, with natural noises from The Mouth, intertwines with itself to create a very creepy, uneasy feeling.

Can’t What to Get A Mouth Full

In Full Bloom definitely catches your eye with its style, and the concept is simply creepy. The demo will give your taste of what is to come, hopefully with a story behind this interesting blob. A sense of moral dilemma is within the construct of the game, as caring for the creature could lead to a potential human buffet. The Mouth wants to eat its fill, but it will have to wait until a full release comes about this year. In the meantime, it will have to sample the local dishes with the demo on Steam.
