Netmarble presented its new title Project Bloomwalker at gamescom 2025 in Germany. Developed by Netmarble Neo, the game is described as a cozy crafting experience where players travel the world in a moving house, join forces with adorable creatures called Oddlings, purify polluted lands, and create a home that evolves along the journey.

Unlike traditional crafting games that focus heavily on survival mechanics, Project Bloomwalker emphasizes the joy of healing and restoration. The development team designed it as an experience about caring for the world and bringing it back to life, blending themes of environmental renewal with the emotional warmth of cozy play.

The name “Bloomwalker” refers to “one who walks while blooming.” Every step of the mobile house leaves behind purified ground where flowers and life begin to sprout, symbolizing hope and resilience. Players themselves embody this role, walking forward as beacons of renewal.

Gameplay revolves around four pillars: exploring uncharted regions, cleansing contaminated areas, crafting and decorating with gathered resources, and bonding with the Oddlings. Adventures will also involve facing off against intruders and large-scale threats. Cooperative features are planned, allowing friends to decorate homes together and set out on joint explorations.

The moving house plays a central role in easing the frustrations of typical crafting games. Instead of stressing over early mistakes when choosing a base location, players can simply travel with their home and explore freely. In the demo build, the house moved on its own, but the finished game will let players steer it as they please.

Home customization also introduces a distinctive twist. Rather than endlessly expanding the outer walls, players use a magical door to enlarge the interior. This preserves the charming, compact look of the house while allowing limitless creativity inside.

Oddlings serve as fairy-like companions encountered in the polluted world. They are meant to feel like both friends and family members, creating the warmth of a bustling household. A mysterious black cat also resides in the moving house, tied to the purification of the world, and conceals a secret yet to be revealed.

The story begins when a meteor strikes a once-beautiful land, unleashing pollution. Special beings known as Bloomwalkers awaken with the power to cleanse it, and players step into the role of one of these figures, setting out on a journey of hope with their moving house of purification.

Project Bloomwalker is currently in development for PC and console. While the team has not committed to a release window, they aim to deliver a memorable game that will leave a lasting impression on players.
