Plan your next BONELAB session
Our independent guide delves deeper into Bonelab’s core pillars, offering observations that help you appreciate the physics fidelity, combat variety, avatar impact, narrative layers, and diverse environments while respecting the game's intended design and the limits of its documented features.
01 / THE GUIDE
Physics Observation
Pick a movable object, apply a push, and note how its speed and trajectory change with varying force. Compare results across different shapes to see consistency.
- Explore every corridor for hidden narrative items.
- Take notes on clues to piece the story.
02 / THE GUIDE
Combat Comparison
Equip a ranged gun and a melee tool, engage the same enemy type, and observe differences in hit feedback and enemy reaction. Record which feels more immersive.
- Test object weight by lifting different items.
- Observe how momentum carries objects after impact.

03 / THE GUIDE
Avatar Impact
Import two avatars of contrasting sizes, then attempt identical object lifts. Notice how avatar dimensions affect reach and force application, influencing puzzle solutions.
- Switch weapons to match enemy distance.
- Use environmental objects as improvised tools.
04 / THE GUIDE
Narrative Mapping
Collect each clue you encounter and jot its location. After completing a segment, arrange the notes chronologically to reveal the hidden storyline progression.
- Match avatar size to intended playstyle.
- Check that imported models have proper rigging.
05 / THE GUIDE
Location Variety
Visit an arena, an obstacle course, and a sandbox in one session. Compare the objectives, environmental interactions, and difficulty to decide which suits your play style.
- Try each mode to gauge personal difficulty preference.
- Explore user‑generated levels for fresh puzzles.
