Devolver Digital has revealed that the upcoming puzzle-exploration game Pikuniku will be bringing its quirky antics to Switch later this month.
The game takes place in a strange but playful world where not everything is as happy as it seems. You'll need to help peculiar characters (who can apparently high-five with their feet-leg-things) overcome struggles, uncover a deep state conspiracy, and start "a fun little revolution in this delightful dystopian adventure". It looks and sounds pretty fun to us, that's for sure.
Players can either explore the weird and whacky world alone, helping the inhabitants with their bizarre requests, or you can pair up with a friend in cooperative levels custom designed for two players. We've got some screens for you below.
As is often the case, Devolver Digital's press release for the game includes a quote from its hilarious, but fake, CFO Fork Parker:
“While watching my mistress’s stepchildren play through Pikuniku, I realise this was a video game product that even an ultra-wealthy elitist like myself could enjoy."
We know that isn't really relevant to anything, but it was sent to us and we wanted to share it. So there.
Pikuniku launches on Switch on 24th January and will be available from the eShop for $12.99 / £10.29 / €10.79. You can also get 10% off by pre-ordering (pre-orders are live now in North and South America, and will go live on the 17th for everyone else).
Will you be giving this one a whirl? Let us know in the comments.

Been waiting for this since they announced it. But once again will wait to get it just in case of physical.
Thank you Devolver, for bringing all your fun stuff!
Can’t wait - this is right up my alley.
Love me some cute, minimal graphics + quirky gameplay and characters.
That game looks bonkers in all the right ways. The price is right, too. Insta-buy at $10, but I'll probably buy for $13. (... but the BaCkLoG ! )
Pikuniku?
We want PIKMIN, damned!

I absolutely cannot wait for this. It just looks all kinds of delightful.
This looks to be in same wheelhouse as the MAGNIFICENT Loco Roco from way back in the PSP days. An immediate purchase from me...
This game looks SUUPER fun. I've been waiting for a launch date fir so long, glad it's here!
