Dodo Duckie: A Cozy Perspective-Shifting Adventure Arrives in 2026
Indian game studio BornMonkie has officially announced the release window for their upcoming title, Dodo Duckie. This charming puzzle platformer, which promises a unique blend of 2D and 3D gameplay, is set to launch in 2026, inviting players on an endearing journey with a determined little duck.
The developers describe Dodo Duckie as a delightful fusion of genre classics, stating, "Imagine Fez met Super Paper Mario – that's Dodo Duckie." According to the studio's co-founder and producer, the game aims to be a light, fun, and occasionally heartwarming adventure starring a duck who knows they're the hero of their own story.
A Glitchy Dimension and Unique Gameplay
Players will step into the webbed feet of Dodo, a duck who grew up peacefully on a quiet farm surrounded by chickens. However, Dodo's tranquil life is shattered when a mysterious UFO appears, abducting all of Dodo's feathered friends. Left alone, Dodo embarks on a chase that leads them into a glitchy, unpredictable dimension. Here, strange landscapes, alien traps, and new allies await.
At the core of Dodo Duckie's gameplay is its innovative perspective-switching mechanic. Players will seamlessly transition between classic 2D platforming puzzles and 3D elements that unlock as they progress. This shift in perspective is key to solving unusual challenges, revealing hidden paths, and changing the rules of the game itself. The adventure will span three distinct worlds, from a frozen lake to the depths of outer space, each introducing unique features like freezing mechanics, shooting elements, and gravity manipulation.
Charming Characters and Customization
During their journey, Dodo will encounter a cast of charismatic characters, including Capy the capybara, a local hat merchant. It's Capy who gifts Dodo a magical hat, granting the power to switch between dimensions – an essential tool for navigating the game's unique puzzles.
Beyond its clever mechanics, Dodo Duckie aims to deliver a truly cozy experience. Players can look forward to a relaxing pace, a warm atmosphere, and an inviting visual style that complements the game's charm. And for those who love to personalize their protagonists, the game also allows players to dress up Dodo in various hats, adding an extra layer of fun and cuteness.
Dodo Duckie is confirmed for PC via Steam and will include Russian text localization. This delightful indie title promises a fresh take on the puzzle platformer genre, offering a unique adventure for players worldwide when it arrives in 2026.
