Shouchiku Games to Publish Pikku Adventure on Steam in Q2 2027
The 3D language-deciphering puzzle adventure from Milan-based solo developer Ivan got a 54-second trailer alongside the publishing deal.
Shouchiku Games will handle global publishing for Pikku Adventure, the company announced, with the 3D language-deciphering puzzle adventure targeting a Steam release in the second quarter of 2027. A 54-second official trailer accompanied the announcement, according to gamemeca.com.
In Pikku Adventure, players take the role of an astronaut exploring a colorful alien planet. Progress comes from inferring the meaning of the residents' words through observation and conversation, then recording them in a dictionary. Players later combine characters and words to complete sentences and communicate with the inhabitants.
The game ships without a fixed tutorial, leaving players to deduce the language's rules on their own. Understanding the language opens up choices that affect the fate of the world.
Pikku Adventure will support Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. It is the first game from Ivan, a solo developer based in Milan, Italy.
From wishlists to a 2027 launch
The game's Steam page opened in February 2026 and has since gathered about 20,000 wishlist entries. Ivan, a former interpreter, began developing games in the summer of 2025 and taught himself programming, game design and 3D art.
