Japanese developer PiXEL has announced Uta to Mori no Youkai Yashiki, a new anime-themed block breaker game they have in development.
Uta to Mori no Youkai Yashiki (Song and Forest Yokai Mansion) is in development for Nintendo Switch and will launch on July 10th in Japan.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
A monster mansion where cute but slightly creepy monsters roam.
