It's been a bumper year for fans of Keita Takahashi, with the remastered release of the best Katamari game on Steam, a Google tribute to the King of All Cosmos' glory, and now the announcement of the offbeat creator's next game, to a T. Developed by the Takahashi-led uvula studio and to be published by Annapurna Interactive, it's a 3D "narrative adventure game" where you play as a teenager called Teen "with a unique posture." Teen is stuck in a T-pose, the 'default' state for in-game character models, and one which sometimes crops up when games glitch out (T-posed NPCs was one of the most prominent early bugs in Cyberpunk 2077).
The game has "a strong focus on character, interaction, story and exploration" and is all about Teen's desire to live a normal life in their small town. You explore the world with the help of Teen's very cute dog, and are advised by his mother. I can't really paraphrase the next line so take it away Mr. Takahashi: "While going to school and contending with bullies, Teen discovers a new ability granted to them by their extraordinary posture, and they start to uncover more about their mysterious lineage."
