Garten of Banban is a first-person puzzle-horror game set inside Banban's Kindergarten, a colorful daycare abandoned under mysterious circumstances. Searching for a missing child, players descend through Garten of Banban and meet its oversized mascots, some helpful and most deeply unsettling. Rather than constant chases, the game leans on a steady, creeping mystery that unfolds one floor at a time.
About Garten of Banban
Into Banban's Kindergarten
The game is a first-person exploration puzzler that trades constant chases for a steady, creeping mystery. Players descend floor by floor, uncovering why the kindergarten fell silent and what became of its staff.
Playing with the Drone
A small drone companion is the key to progress. Players send it through vents and gaps to hit switches, solve color-coded puzzles, and reach areas they cannot access on foot. Side rooms hide the codes and clues that open the way down.
Controls
- WASD: move
- Mouse: look
- Left-click: deploy the drone and interact
- E: pick up items
- Shift: run
Is Garten of Banban Too Scary?
Compared to most horror, the title keeps things mild. Its scares lean on eerie mascots and atmosphere rather than gore or intense jump scares, which makes it a good fit for younger players and horror newcomers, while its steady stream of sequels keeps the mystery growing.
