Help the good boys in “The Puppeteer”
Developer and Publisher Forge Serenity unveiled Puppergeist for Steam, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox PC during the October IGN and ID@Xbox presentation. The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer and Steam page, giving players an early look at this heartfelt and rhythmic visual novel.
“The Puppeteer” tells a bittersweet story of unconditional love between people and their pets. Players follow Claire, a young witch as she searches for her lost dog in the mysterious Underworld of Dogs. Along the way, she meets other canine spirits, listens to their stories, and helps them find peace through rhythmic mini-games. It's full of expressive animation and emotional moments. Each rhythm challenge is unique and inspired by the Rhythm Heaven series. There are also remixes and bonus features that keep the game fresh and exciting.
Claire is joined on her journey by Lunn, a mischievous demon companion who helps her understand the bond between humans and their pets. Together, they reveal heartwarming stories of friendship, loss and loyalty, combining light-hearted fun with emotional storytelling.
The game is entirely developed by Serenity Forge, with creative direction and art headed by NomnomNami. The soundtrack features guest composers including Cyanide & Happiness co-writer Chris Wilson, with other collaborators currently unknown.
Paying homage to beloved pets past and present, Puppergeist invites players to explore, feel, and remember. The game is now available as a wishlist on Steam and Xbox.
