Project Introduction

In the hidden world of our bedrooms, a long-lasting war has been waged between small pillows known as Bulanci, or EAP (Extremely Aggressive Pillows).
Bulanci is a full-fledged successor to the eponymous shareware party minigame from 2001, which originated as a student project. During its time, it was installed almost on every school or work PC in the Czech Republic, and in its lifetime, it amassed more than 16 million downloads.

Therefore, the party game Bulanci stems from a tried and tested concept, and besides cross-platform multiplayer for up to 12 players, it will bring a single player campaign which up to 4 players can play cooperatively on one PC. Each of the 10 distinct settings brings its own game mechanics and play style. Players can also participate in level building thanks to the editor where they can create their own maps. As of now, the game is in Early Access
