Daedalic Entertainment, in collaboration with developers Yullia Prohorova and Timur Bogotov, has unveiled a heartwarming story trailer for their upcoming 3D puzzle game, Woodo. The trailer, which debuted during the ID@Xbox Showcase, offers a glimpse into the charming narrative that players will piece together. It features the protagonist’s arrival in a quaint village, humorous encounters with geese and a mischievous goat, and the first steps toward forming bonds in this picturesque setting.
Woodo invites players into a handcrafted diorama world, built around the protagonist’s cherished memories of a summer spent in the countryside. Through intuitive puzzle assembly mechanics, players piece together objects and moments that breathe life into a heartfelt coming-of-age tale.
In the game, players follow Foxy, a young girl spending the summer in a remote village with her distant relative Ben the Frog. Accustomed to a digital life, Foxy initially struggles with her new surroundings. Through Ben’s encouragement and a shared adventure to a place dear to him, Foxy discovers the joy of creativity and builds her special memories. As players progress, they assemble intricate dioramas, each representing a cherished moment of Foxy’s summer, narrated by a friendly voice that offers guidance and companionship.
Key features of Woodo include a cute and original wooden art style that makes the 3D puzzle elements feel tangible, immersive sound design that evokes the feeling of playing with toy dollhouses, and a unique gameplay mechanic based on the find-the-object genre. The game provides a deeply moving emotional experience, immersing players in nostalgia for a simpler, kinder time. The handcrafted storyline and voiceover, narrated by a friendly voice, give players the sense of support from a close friend.
Woodo was an Official Selection at the Women-Led Games 2024 Summer Showcase and the Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration 2024. It was also nominated for ‘Most Wholesome’ at gamescom 2024. The game will be released on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 1+2, and PC.
