Softonic review

A strange, soothing urban stroll

Bernband is a sci-fi exploration sim that drops you into the heart of an alien metropolis with no objectives, missions, or pressure. It’s a remake and expansion of the cult classic 2014 version, offering players a bigger, weirder city to wander through at their own relaxed pace. 

Vibe first, questions later 

Bernband thrives on atmosphere—neon lights, strange sounds, and alien chatter fill the streets as you roam bars, arcades, mega-marts, and hidden alleys. Every corner holds surprises, from secret rooms to bizarre interactions. There’s no tutorial, no map, just the joy of getting lost in a city that feels alive and surreal. 

The charm of this game lies in its simplicity and immersive worldbuilding. You’re free to slap things, observe life, or just sit and watch aliens go about their business. However, some find the lack of clear direction or goals disorienting or dull, especially if they prefer structured gameplay loops or progression. 

An urban dreamlike escape 

For fans of ambient exploration and sci-fi oddities, Bernband is a fascinating, low-stakes adventure through a dreamlike alien world. It’s a short but memorable experience that values mood over mechanics, perfect for players who love getting lost—on purpose.
