TOKYO, NOVEMBER 13, 2026 – Publisher Shochiku Games and Italy-based solo developer Ivan Lisovsky announce their collaboration for his debut title, Pikku Adventure, a 3D language-deciphering puzzle adventure coming to Steam in Q2 2027.
In Pikku Adventure, players learn an alien language from scratch. Stranded on a tiny asteroid inhabited by small creatures called Pikku, players must observe their world, befriend a Pikku companion, and piece together the meaning of over 200 alien words through context alone — with no translations and no hand-holding. As understanding grows, so does the story — and players must assemble sentences in a language they barely speak to make choices that shape how the story ends.
