The player is the overseer of a massive wheeled fortress known as the Dozer, and must cross a post-apocalyptic wasteland safely. The player can choose a route on a minimap, which determines what types of encounters they have. The player can also upgrade the Dozer in order to make traversal of the wasteland easier. Fights take place on an isometric grid. Squad members come in four classes, each with their own specialties. Soldiers cannot be replaced when they die, and it is almost inevitable that casualties will occur.

The player must navigate the Dozer from Bysantine, a futuristic metropolis, to Aztec City, a distant utopia. Many factions control parts of the wasteland in between, such as Cyborgs, Mutants, Marauders, or A.I. Each trip is procedurally generated, and events occur differently in each playthrough.

The setting of the game was formerly a tabletop RPG, and was based on 80's science fiction and Dungeons & Dragons. The developers were also inspired by the fast pace of games like FTL and XCOM. The game uses the engine of The Banner Saga. It was originally known as simply Bedlam, but changed its name to avoid conflict with the game Bedlam released shortly beforehand, despite having already filed a trademark for the name. It was developed after a successful Kickstarter campaign which raised $166,540.
