Bright and bouncy befriend ’em up Wattam is predicted to hit the Epic Games Store in December, in response to a tweet by its writer, Annapurna Interactive. There’s no phrase on whether or not Epic plan to hit it again.
I gained’t lie. I’ve been paying this no consideration by any means, however even only a few moments of the under trailer was sufficient to persuade me I ought to. It got here out in the course of the PlayStation State of Play livestream final night time, however we gained’t maintain that in opposition to it.
Its builders, Funomena, beforehand launched Luna, an optionally-VR kinda gardening game. Wattam appears a bit livelier: a playful mild puzzler about befriending a lot of unusual animated cartoon bushes, mouths, and uh, bogs. You actually should see it in movement, it appears merely irresistible.
Singleplayer and coop modes will work collectively as you’ll be able to swap forwards and backwards at will, guiding the Mayor round a bouncy world with all these unusual however cheerful characters. Puzzles or not, there’s clearly a robust emphasis on mucking about, and their use of the road “Learn to have fun again!” positively sounds welcome. It all will get a bit severe in gamesworld typically.
Wattam is described on its retailer pages as “from the imagination of Keita Takahashi”, aka the director of the primary two Katamari games, which isn’t in any respect shocking. The shorter trailer launched in 2017 provides a robust Katamari vibe even to me, which is spectacular contemplating I by no means performed them.
Wattam will likely be out there on the Epic Games Store from December. There’s no phrase but on when will probably be launched on Steam, however Epic’s exclusivity offers are generally restricted to 1 12 months.
