CreaClan (Producer: KamiEna) will release the dot-eat–style NumeNume × tag-action game Garden Hunt on Steam (PC) on January 16, 2026 at 15:00 (JST).
Set in a hedge-maze garden, the game follows Meina, a young Slugnail girl, as she dashes through the labyrinth—catching slimes while avoiding enemies. By combining the heart-pounding tension of tag with Garden Hunt’s signature NumeNume mechanics, we’ve created a gameplay loop that will make you think, “One more try!” again and again.
What’s around the corner—Enemy or slime?
Garden Hunt is built around the real-life tag feeling of:
“If I turn this corner… will the chaser be there? Or my target?”
With maze layouts that block your view, obstacles that create blind spots, and stages shrouded in thick fog, each environment offers a different kind of suspense—bringing the push-and-pull of chasing and escaping to life.
The game’s signature feature: the NumeNume system
Garden Hunt’s most unique mechanic is built around NumeNume. Meina can move quickly using NumeNume Dash, but it consumes moisture, so you can’t spam it endlessly.
That’s where Numeri Trails come in. These slippery blue trails are left behind as you move. While you’re on a Numeri Trail, your moisture gradually recovers, letting you dash again.
Do you spend your moisture to catch slimes, or save it to escape enemies? Managing when and how to dash adds an extra layer of strategy to the tag-style gameplay.
Should you follow those tracks? A split-second choice between slime and enemy
Meina isn’t the only one who leaves Numeri Trails—slimes and enemies do too.
That means Numeri Trails are not only recovery zones, but also footprints that hint at where something went. While racing through the maze, you might suddenly spot a fresh trail—
Is it from a slime… or an enemy?
Choosing whether to follow that trail creates tense, decisive moments that can mean the difference between survival and capture.
A fully voiced story told through manga-style cutscenes
The story unfolds through manga-panel-style presentation, with full voice acting.
Using expressive facial changes, dynamic camera angles, and character movement—elements that shine in manga storytelling—we packed the game with scenes that highlight Meina’s charm.
Manga-style cutscenes support English and other language subtitles.
