The Barcelona-based indie studio Mango Protocol, known for the 2020 title Colossus Down and the 2024 puzzle game CLeM, brought its latest project Angie Magica to BitSummit PUNCH for its first public showing in Japan. The game is a top-down exploration adventure inspired by classic The Legend of Zelda, starring Angie (Angelica), who originally appeared as a villain in Colossus Down. In Angie Magica, players guide a young Angie through a mysterious forest after she loses her grandmother, where a talking cat named Ava tells her she has been chosen by the Eternal Smile. The demo included a transformation sequence that visually homages Sailor Moon, but the game's tone quickly turns darker, with monsters called Kunou that represent Angie's inner anguish. A cooking system lets players gather ingredients, complete recipes, and boost stats by cooking meals. Mango Protocol has not yet announced a publisher or release date, and the game is not listed on Steam, though Japanese language support is confirmed.
