Why it matters
The publisher role for a first-title indie studio, paired with English-first release and Japanese localization still pending, puts a Tokyo mobile-game developer behind a Steam release that has not yet been built for its home market.
Players control a girl named Tolie in a children's theme park, working through ten chapters and roughly six hours of psychological horror governed by the park's own rules.
Giggleland released on Steam on October 26, 2026, with English text live and Japanese and Simplified Chinese localization planned for later. Gamincat, a Shibuya-based studio known mainly for mobile games, is handling publishing; Hooked, the developer, is releasing its first title through the arrangement.
The game is a first-person psychological horror adventure set in a theme park for children. The player is Tolie, a girl who explores the park and the mysteries inside it. The mascots are the draw: cute designs against an unsettling setting, with the park's rules driving unpredictable turns.
Gamincat frames the length at about six hours across ten chapters, positioned as a complete story in one work.
