Play Battune Goes to the Museum Online

Game Overview

Battune Goes to the Museum is one of those weird little MS-DOS games that makes you go, "Wait, what is this?" in the best way possible. You control Battune—this ambiguous little creature (robot? alien? sentient pixel?)—as they wander through a museum that feels like someone dumped a bunch of surrealist art into an old-school adventure game. The first room alone has a talking sarcophagus and what I swear is a sentient coat rack judging your every move.

It’s got that classic '90s vibe where nothing explains itself, and half the fun is poking at everything until something bizarre happens. I spent 20 minutes trying to "solve" a painting that turned out to just be a painting—until I accidentally pressed the wrong key and it ate my inventory. The puzzles range from "aha!" clever to "why would anyone think to try that?" ridiculous, but in a way that makes you grin instead of rage-quit.

Honestly, it’s the kind of game that makes you wish more modern indies embraced this level of unhinged creativity. Just don’t expect a walkthrough to save you—half the charm is getting lost in its pixelated strangeness.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
