Hey everyone!
We have news today, and it's good news. But let us tell it properly.
If you grew up in France in the 80s or 90s, Japan was part of your childhood whether you realized it or not. The cartoons after school were anime. The console under the TV was Japanese. A good share of the games that made us want to make games came from Tokyo and Kyoto. We've always felt that France and Japan were linked somehow, culturally. Whether that's a fact or just how the world looked from a French living room, we couldn't tell you. What we can tell you is that when the chance came up to take WONDERFALL to the Tokyo Game Show, we jumped on it without a second thought.
Selected Indie 80
Since 2023, the Tokyo Game Show has selected 80 indie games from around the world each year through its Selected Indie 80 program, giving them a free space on the show floor.
This year, more than 1,500 games applied.
We make a narrative adventure game about exploration and puzzles. Battle royale isn't really our genre. But this was one battle royale we very much wanted to win.
So I guess you can see where this is going.
Bringing Paris to Japan
WONDERFALL has been selected. Out of more than 1,500 games, we're one of the 80, and Léon's Paris, slowly being swallowed by sand, is heading to Tokyo.
You'll find us in Hall 9-11, Booth E43, for all five days of the show (September 17 and 18 are business days; the doors open to the public from Saturday 19 through Monday 21).
The demo will be playable on the booth and the team will be there. Come say hi, play the demo, tell us what you think, or just hang out with us for a while. We'd love to meet you.
And the release?
The game is coming this year. That hasn't changed. Keep your eyes peeled, because a release date is coming soon.
See you in Tokyo!
