Free thriller game

Banland is a free thriller experience for Roblox created by Mzh3000. The only way to describe Banland so that it has any kind of depth is to liken it to a hall of remembrance of sorts. This game is one of the older experiences on Roblox having been created in 2010. It also seems to be forgotten as it hasn’t had an update since 2016. 

Banland is an experience without many active game mechanics or anything much to do. If this is your type of experience, Roblox has numerous alternatives. However, if you’re looking for something a little more immersive and exciting, Roblox is home to countless other games that should impress. For instance, If you like mazes and running from creepy characters, try Slender Man Maze. If you prefer PvP combat games, try Mortal Kombat. 

Dark and desolate

The creator describes Banland as the final home of ‘the souls of lost creators that made joy, and the torture place of hackers.’ They end the description off with ‘Abandon all hope ye who enter here.’ While this is a really descriptive and evocative introduction, it hardly rings true. 

The game is incredibly poorly lit and desolate in its decoration or general environment. Save for a few out-of-place structures and prison boxes containing the likenesses of players that have presumably been banned, there is nothing to see, do, or interact with. 

Death around every corner

Death is an inevitability in such a dimly lit environment. Especially if you consider that the entire playing field is suspended over a void. What’s more, the playing field is comprised of a few jagged islands, the edges of which are incredibly difficult to differentiate from the void. As such, you’ll likely fall into the void every few steps. If you manage to get far enough, there’s also a lava pool that will cause instant demise. 

The game that time forgot

Every now and again, you’ll come across a game that may have had potential but that fizzled out before it could properly ignite due to developer negligence or pure disinterest on the part of the player base. Banland is one of those games. 

Not only is the premise unclear in that you never find out which game from whence they came, but the idea that the only attractions in this game are lifeless effigies of past players also doesn’t seem like much of an attention draw. At the end of the day, Banland is a lifeless experience that not even the developer has any devotion to anymore.
