Katamari Damacy, WattamPlease see the following: Noby Noby Boy game designer Keita TakahashiAnd his “tiny game studio” Uvula are creating a new game for Stray and Neon WhiteAnnapurna Interactive is the publisher. Uvula offered a first look at that new game, which does not have an announced title, during Annapurna’s 2022 game showcase, but revealed little about the project.

A very brief teaser trailer shows the vibrating of the uvula in a young man who is snoring. The dog then licks their faces. The teaser trailer promises “more to come” but also seems frustrated with its own lack of information. The release window and platforms were not revealed. At this stage, you cannot really depend on a dog who licks people’s faces.

Uvula has had a small teaser page up for the project for a while now, only referring to it as “New project” and including an image of a teapot. Uvula’s other projects include the recently released Crankin’s Time Travel Adventure for Panic’s Playdate handheld, AlphabetFor PC Tenya Wanya TeensThe game was played using a customized 16-button controller.
