Who ordered another 2D puzzle/platformer with a large helping of retro nostalgia and a vibrant art-style?

Yep, Pikuniku ticks those boxes yet is also attempting to subvert the genre with a helping of dark humour and a layered story - as these cute cartoon creatures most solve dark conspiracies and psychological traumas within the campaign.

Those serious themes are accompanied by a silly sense of fun though, with this looking to sit amongst Devolver Digital’s usual brand wacky product.
