Studio Doodal opened a Steam store page for HopScout, a Japanese-language logic puzzle game about arranging rabbits to satisfy their demands. It launches in the first quarter of 2027. Players lead a rabbit named Riebe, manage the rabbit hole, and solve over 90 stages.
Studio Doodal revealed the Steam store page for HopScout on August 24, 2026. The game casts the player as Riebe, leader of the rabbits' home Rabbit Hole, where weasel fur has appeared and the rabbits must work together to fend off the threat.
Each rabbit has distinct preferences: some refuse to go on missions together, some fear standing in front, and some hate studying. The player arranges them to meet everyone's demands. Items like sunshades, fans, herbal medicine guides, umbrellas, and lanterns can relax conditions, such as a rabbit that hates heat being fine under a sunshade.
Solving puzzles earns hearts that fill a codex, unlock special records, and provide furniture. The game draws inspiration from Poti Poti Studio's 'Is This Seat Taken?' and launches in Q1 2027.
