Keita Takahashi’s Next Game Is A Heartfelt Tale About Being Stuck In A T-Pose

During this morning’s Annapurna Interactive Showcase, the publisher revealed the next game from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi’s studio, uvula, and it looks predictably quirky and charming.

Titled “to a T,” the game stars a teenager simply named Teen, who seemingly lives their life in a permanent T-pose. The game will be an episodic narrative adventure in which players guide Teen through school life and their unique situation with exploration, character interaction, mini-games and the discovery of some unique abilities.

Although Teen will face bullying and some hardship because of their condition in the game, uvula says it’s ultimately a “heartfelt” game designed to be enjoyed by everyone, and it’s partnered with charity organisation, AbleGamers, to ensure it’s approaching its core ideas with sensitivity and accessibility.

Take a look at the trailer for to a T below:

From the game’s Steam page description:

• Episodic Story – Take part in a story that unfolds over multiple days while Teen finds a way to fit in, and discovers a new found sense of self.
• Minigames – Control Teen in a variety of different scenarios that they encounter throughout their day. Maneuver Teen’s arm to reach for and interact with objects. Open Teen’s mouth to take a bite of food or a drink of water. From petting a dog, to eating breakfast, Teen can do a lot even if they have to do it in their own way.
• Explore Town – Outside of the main story, collect coins, find a beautiful vista point, visit all the shops around town, or hunt for interesting characters around town to talk to in free mode.
• Character Customization – Style Teen to your own liking. Purchase clothing from stores around town to expand your wardrobe and experiment with fun clothing combinations.
• A very cute dog.
