UGOMEKU NOTE Is a Bizarre RPG Where Jokes Fly Faster Than Reactions

The indie game 'UGOMEKU NOTE' by creator Kagaya, shown at Bitsummit 2026, is a personal RPG project whose hand-drawn notebook visuals and relentless surreal gags leave players struggling to keep up. The demo opens with the hero hit by a reckless driver and hospitalized within five minutes, replaced by a mysterious creature made of butt and thighs as the protagonist.

The game opens with a classic hero's quest, then immediately subverts it: the hero is run over by a reckless driver and hospitalized five minutes in. A 'mysterious creature made only of butt and thighs' visiting the castle is ordered to take over. The battle system is a rhythm game where directional keys handle both attack and defense, with on-beat and off-beat inputs as difficulty scales. A know-it-all professor explains the tutorial, then leaves to go to a daycare center. The jokes come so fast that the writer reports having no time to react.
