Wonderscope Games’ Hokko Life cosy sandbox spin-off to bring a calm, casual experience for gamers looking to take a beat and create their perfect place to relax.
Saturday, 6th June 2026 – Team17 and Wonderscope Games have announced Hokko Spaces, a brand-new game set in the cozy world of Hokko Life. Announced as part of today’s Wholesome Direct, Hokko Spaces combines the colourful aesthetic of Hokko with a casual sandbox experience. A Steam playtest is now available for players looking to get a taste of the full game, as they create their own relaxing dioramas tailored to suit the needs of its many anthropomorphic animal residents.
Hokko Spaces: Announcement trailer
Hokko Spaces features a broad set of options for players to build their perfect scenes, with over 300 decorative items available (such as campfires, benches, picnic baskets, planters, a wide variety of flowers, and picket fences) and 5 different block types (including stone cobbles, grass, and sand) to mould the environment. Further customisation is available through the choice of the four seasons, each with two different weather options. 26 furry visitors are available to visit the spaces, unlocked through meeting low-bar goals like destroying 20 weeds in the diorama.
Players can also take the perfect images of their creations with Hokko Spaces’ easy-to-use Photo Mode, and share their photos on social media.
Robert Tatnell, Wonderscope Games, said: “After the success of Hokko Life a few years ago I wanted to work on something smaller and more focused; a game that presents a bitesize dose of cuteness and creativity best enjoyed under a blanket with freshly baked cookies and a nice comforting drink. I love miniatures and dioramas and wanted to create a place where players can build their own small, lively spaces, decorate them with cute items and watch as the adorable Hokko characters potter about them and interact with the world”
He added: “We’re launching today’s Steam Playtest alongside the game’s announcement to not only give players the opportunity to get a taste of what’s in store for them, but to also allow them to give feedback on ways to make Hokko Spaces an even more relaxing and comforting experience. We’re looking forward to hearing what players have to say!”
Hokko Spaces is available to Wishlist now; the Steam Playtest is available to download from today.
