Tokoronyori's New Co-op Game Twospeak Appears at Tokyo Game Show

Tokoronyori built its reputation on two-player co-op where each side holds different information, and this one adds a shared invented language to that split, which is a harder thing to design than puzzles alone.

Tokoronyori's New Co-op Game Twospeak Appears at Tokyo Game Show

Tokoronyori's new game Twospeak (Working Title) appeared at the Kodansha Game Lab booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026. It is a two-player-only puzzle adventure, separate from the BOKURA series, in which each player is given a different vocabulary and the two decode each other's language while solving puzzles. The booth features 24 titles.

The game sits on the Kodansha Game Lab booth floor at Tokyo Game Show 2026, one of 24 titles the booth is carrying and one whose details were withheld from the advance announcement. Players meet as two people with no common language. Only a mysterious machine speaks words either side understands, and that machine does not understand the players either. It asks them to introduce themselves, which means teaching each other the word for "I."

Each player's vocabulary book uses different characters for the same meanings, so the two compare notes to decode what the other is saying. The title carries a (Working Title) label and is positioned as a separate work from BOKURA, not an entry in that series.
