Kodansha Game Lab Opens Steam Page for Legacy Code

Kodansha Game Lab opened the Steam store page for Legacy Code on September 16 and started accepting wishlist registrations. The physics simulation game is developed by indie creator Room 127 and is scheduled for release on PC in 2027. Players combine junk parts, including doll heads, electric fans, televisions, 3D puzzles, dentures, chains, and cacti, into creatures called Mechanimals, then operate them directly. Defeating enemies yields the parts they carried, and adding those parts changes both appearance and performance. Each part has its own movement quirks, and no clear correct answer exists for assembly. The game runs on the Marionette Engine, an in-house physics system built by Room 127 that moves a Mechanimal regardless of how its parts are combined, though the result sometimes walks in ways its own creator did not intend. The cycle of build, fight, and collect expands the walkable world, from deserts to snowy mountains and ruins. Legacy Code supports Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese, with pricing undecided.
