Mount Lomyst Demo Arrives Alongside BACHI BACHI Games Publishing Deal
BACHI BACHI GAMES, the label MyDearest set up for PC and console titles, is attaching its name to a BitSummit PUNCH 2026 award winner before the label has shipped anything of its own.
Reporting from 1 source: Denfaminicogamer.
A demo for Mount Lomyst, a 2D mountain climbing game from developer HIKO GAME, is out now, tied to the running Steam Next Fest. BACHI BACHI GAMES will publish the title. The game has no jump: players use a grappling hook and cliff climbing, managing stamina against strong winds, collapsing footholds, and walls the hook cannot pierce, while handwritten notes reveal the story.
The demo lands during Steam Next Fest, and the publishing announcement comes with it. Mount Lomyst took the Famitsu Award and the Gamemakers Award in the Media Highlight Awards at BitSummit PUNCH, held in Kyoto in May 2026.
The design leans on one restriction: no jump. Progress depends on hook placement and wall climbing, with stamina draining on the cliff and a single mistake sending the player sliding back down. Handwritten notes picked up along the route carry the story, and the game pairs simple visuals with environmental sound.
