2P Games is publishing a steady run of independent PC titles, most released on Steam with Japanese support.

It is also preparing for its first gamescom appearance and an October launch for Alice Nation.

2P Games has spent 2026 publishing small independent games, most of them for PC through Steam with Japanese-language support. Its releases run from voice-controlled co-op (Dotabata! Duck Catcher, June 24) to a vampire visual novel (Well of the World: Carlo's Bloodline, August 18 at 1,550 yen) to the Early Access exit of Reincarnation Insurance Co. R.I.P. on September 16. The company's pitch across these titles is variety rather than a single genre, and its store pages routinely list Japanese display or subtitles.

In July, the company presented four new indie titles at Bilibili World 2026, including a multi-ending raising sim, a cooperative action game about pets carrying noodle humans, a one-hit-kill shooter set in 1939 Birmingham, and a deck-building roguelike with a Journey to the West theme. Two of those titles were planned for Japanese release with Japanese language support. The following month, 2P Games said it would exhibit for the first time at gamescom 2026 in Cologne from August 26 to 30, showing Sultan's Game and Girls and Academy Castle alongside upcoming titles such as How to Raise a Beloved Daughter in Immortal Village.

The most recent release, Crying Goose, has drawn about 8,200 user reviews on Steam with roughly 58 percent positive, and the publisher and developer ZerocreationGame responded with a free September update adding full Japanese voice acting and fixing localization bugs. Reincarnation Insurance Co. R.I.P. shipped a major update alongside its 1.0 release, adding a melee ninja named Lin, the City of Resurrection map, a final boss, the Infinite Journey endless mode, the R.I.Plane minigame, 34 Mythic-grade items, 19 investigation events, and an NPC called the Rear Support Terminal. Alice Nation is set for October 16 in Japan at $7.99 with a 10 percent discount for 14 days, and a demo is out now.

Voice-Controlled Duck-Herding Game 'Dotabata! Duck Catcher' Launches on Steam

Publisher 2P Games and developer FuncoreClub released the voice-controlled co-op action game 'Dotabata! Duck Catcher' on Steam on June 24, 2026. The game uses only microphone input: players shout to generate volume that moves ducks toward a goal. It supports up to four players in online co-op, and each player's voice affects the ducks, meaning a poorly timed yell can send the whole flock off a cliff. Stages include a slippery snowy mountain and a scorching desert with giant fans that blow ducks away. Items add chaos: a cigarette lets ducks dash at super speed, medicinal liquor makes them dizzy, a steel whistle calls back strays, and firecrackers scare off wild dogs. Players can unlock badges and costumes for customization. The regular price is 1,050 yen, with a 38% launch discount to 651 yen until July 8. The game supports Japanese, simplified and traditional Chinese, English, Korean, French, and German.
