We got atrailerfor this one a few weeks back, and the game itself just dropped on Steam yesterday. It’s got that specific blend ofHollow Knight: Silksong-esque maudlin and whimsy that I personally love, skirting around the edges of both without slipping too readily into Tim Burton territory. The artstyle is crisp and wintery, the writing is goofy, and everything that moves looks like it evolved from the same dead tree branch. Feast your hooves on the trailer below:

The game comes from Greek team Bleeding Moon Studio, who up until now are credited with just thePurrfectly Hidden Catsseries. Those are cozy hidden object games, so Skaramazu having a dedicated story to tie together its puzzles and exploration seems like a commendable departure from their previous work. The writing itself looks to play a big role, too. “Every character will be willing to listen and help Zuzu and ask for something in return,” promises the Steam description. “Some of these strange personalities might turn out to be key figures in Zuzu’s little peculiar adventure.”
