Escaping an execution leads the protagonist into an underground research facility in Bonelab, a physics-based action game combining combat, exploration, and environmental puzzles. The story begins when an outcast is sentenced to death by villagers. After escaping, the character discovers a hidden laboratory connected to the virtual world of MythOS. Players must investigate the facility, overcome obstacles, and uncover information about the experiments conducted there. The game also provides sandbox activities outside the main storyline.

Exploring the Laboratory and Story Levels

The campaign contains 15 levels with different objectives and environments. Players navigate industrial corridors, underground passages, and experimental areas while encountering hostile creatures. Some stages focus on combat, while others introduce parkour, driving, or puzzles. The laboratory serves as a central hub connecting different activities, including obstacle courses, arenas, and experimental modes.

Physics, Weapons, and Character Abilities

Bonelab uses a physics system where objects have weight and respond to player interactions. Characters can grab equipment, climb structures, push obstacles, and use weapons against enemies.

The main gameplay features include:

·         Fighting enemies with firearms and melee weapons.

·         Climbing walls and moving across platforms.

·         Solving puzzles involving physical objects.

·         Driving vehicles during specific challenges.

·         Switching between avatars with different abilities.

·         Exploring sandbox environments and spawning objects.

·         Discovering hidden collectibles and equipment.

Players can use the Bodylog to change their character’s physical characteristics. Larger avatars provide additional strength, while smaller characters can reach restricted spaces. Faster avatars are useful during movement challenges.

Sandbox Activities and Game Progression

The game includes separate areas for experimenting with weapons, vehicles, enemies, and environmental objects. Collectible capsules unlock additional content for sandbox activities. Players can also explore community-created levels and use custom avatars.

Campaign progression requires completing individual stages and unlocking the abilities needed to overcome later obstacles. The final sections involve escaping the laboratory’s restrictions and reaching the Void, where the protagonist encounters Jimmy Wong. After completing the story, players can continue experimenting with physics, exploring available environments, and discovering hidden content.
