The unique new game from the makers of Paradise Killer gets a thorough explanation from a familiar voice.

LONDON, United Kingdom, 31 July 2024 – The award winning studio behind Paradise Killer, Kaizen Game Works, have today released a gameplay deep dive video for their upcoming “Open World Mascot Management Crime Drama,” Promise Mascot Agency.

As the first (and best) example of its genre, Promise Mascot Agency is an experience unlike any other. As such, a bit of explanation is in order: the backstory of our hero Michi, the process of hiring mascots, the dangers of work and the mystery of a deadly curse are just a few things touched on in the new video. Additionally, eagle-eyed viewers will be able to spot some newly-revealed mascots and characters. Is that a bat with a pickaxe?

Also, the deep dive is narrated by a voice that existing fans might find themselves recognising. Maybe this warrants an investigation?

Everyone at Kaizen Game Works has been blown away by the positive response to the April reveal trailer for Promise Mascot Agency. A common sentiment of “I don’t know what I’m looking at, but it looks awesome” was clear, so hopefully today’s video clears up some of that confusion. Not too much, though – Promise Mascot Agency will have plenty of strangeness and mystery to uncover upon release.

“We’re so happy with the response to our announcement and we’ve been itching to show you more. Promise Mascot Agency is a unique game and there is so much to see and do. This video shows you just the tip of the iceberg. There are many more mascots to meet, people to help and FORBIDDEN MYSTERIES to uncover. This game rocks ass.” – Oli Clarke Smith, Game Director

Promise Mascot Agency comes to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Windows in 2025. For more information, please visit https://www.kaizengameworks.com/. 

Promise Mascot Agency was developed with financial assistance from Kowloon Nights and the UK Global Screen Fund, financed by the UK Government’s department for Culture, Media and Sport and administered by the BFI. Kaizen Game Works is extremely grateful to both.

Embark on a journey gathering ingredients to make the best curry shop in the world!

Tokyo Japan, July 31st, 2024 – Japanese game developer Minnapad have revealed their next project as their love letter to retro Japanese games, Dhalman. Featuring characters by legendary former Capcom artist Satoru Yamashita (Street Fighter 2, Final Fight, Ghosts ‘n Goblins), Dhalman is a side-scrolling action and shop management game about a young boy named Dhalman, who dreams of making his family’s curry shop the best in the world.

Join Dhalman as he ventures across the world fighting numerous bosses to collect special spices. He can also earn extra money by partaking in fighting tournaments. Face fierce opponents ranging like the four-armed elephantine Ganesha, Chinese martial artist Mei-Ling, psychic shadow cadet Emilio, electric wild child Little Spark, and the wise Master Jiro. Need extra cash? Dhalman can always engage in street fighting tournaments to fund his family’s business!

Dhlaman is a labor of love from some of Capcom’s greatest artists, including Satoru Yamashita, who did pixel art and logo designs on Street Fighter 2 and Final Fight, as well as illustrations and cover art for Ghosts ‘n Goblins. Acclaimed Mega Man composer Akari Kaida will also be contributing to Dhalman, making all new original music for the game.

The Dhalman Kickstarter campaign has launched today. Pledge now to gain exclusive backer rewards and help ensure that Dhalman can become a reality!

“We saw how excited people got for other Kickstarters for spiritual successors to 90s classics, like Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and Eiyuden, so we wanted to create our own throwback to Capcom’s illustrious back catalog and Satoru Yamashita was interested in revisiting this kind of colorful, family friendly gaming that inspired us so much growing up,” said Tatsuya Nishioka, CEO at Minnapad. “We also got Mega Man composer Akari Kaida to work on the soundtrack, ensuring that Dhalman will feel like a long lost classic!”

“Dhalman came from my travel experiences and watching travel videos on YouTube,” said artist Satoru Yamashita. “I’m currently keen on India, with its friendly people, cows walking on the streets, loud noises, ancient ruins, and vibrant dances. I thought it would be great to capture the intense aspects of India in visuals.”
