What is there to not love about that?! They&#8217;ll embark on musical and magical adventures together, relying on their unique abilities to protect each other from lurking danger and overcome challenges. It&#8217;s said to be an emotional and memorable experience.<\/p>\n<p>The art for the game is absolutely the first thing I notice about it \u2013 it&#8217;s somewhat dark, yet also happy, if that makes sense. It&#8217;s all 2D hand-drawn art and animation that brings the world to life. The game also features an original score that enhances its heartwarming atmosphere and poetic narrative.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e1ZUhSk5_eg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><br \/>\n&#8220;We&#8217;re so happy to support and work with Studio Tolima on Koira,&#8221; said Don&#8217;t Nod&#8217;s CEO Oskar Guilbert in a press release. &#8220;It&#8217;s a 2D, hand-drawn project that we think fits in well with Don&#8217;t Nod&#8217;s portfolio and we can&#8217;t wait to be able to share more in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are thrilled to officially announce Koira and our co-production with Don&#8217;t Nod,&#8221; said Studio Head and Game Director at Studio Tolima, Ben Laga, in the same press release. &#8220;Koira is an evocative experience that explores the theme of friendship with a little puppy. Through a thoughtful and minimalistic approach, our story comes to life relying on the powerful combination of expressive hand-drawn graphics and a poignant original soundtrack. This game is our love letter to the medium and we can&#8217;t wait to start sharing more details about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Developed by Studio Tolima and published by Don&#8217;t Nod, Koira will be released for PC via Steam in 2025.
