Kogado Studio Reveals Bee-Girl Roguelite Shooter Brabee for PC
Kogado is a long-established developer known for naming its project teams after animals, and Brabee arrives with a TGS demo slot and a spring 2027 Steam date already attached rather than as a proof-of-concept tease.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Kogado Studio announced Brabee on September 10, a twin-stick roguelite shooter for PC via Steam planned for spring 2027 at 2,900 yen. Players pick from bee-like characters, stack perk items into attack or survival builds, and fight through a forest where day and night change how abilities work. A playable demo runs at Tokyo Game Show 2026, held September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe.
The game is handled by Kogado's Taiyou-san Team, the project group named after an animal in the studio's usual convention. The player character resembles an anthropomorphized bee, and the protagonist Brabee can summon three companion bees that attack nearby enemies, with passive bonuses during the day such as faster movement, faster attacks, and slight health recovery on kills.
Perk items shape the run: a turtle-shell barrier that nullifies damage at fixed intervals, a melee slash that widens close-range attacks, and a poison effect that deals continuous damage. Enemies drop Housenomi, the in-game currency, spent at a shop that appears before boss fights.
