Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Jun 27

Odencat has been active in mid-2026 with two distinct projects. The studio released the Switch and Xbox Series X|S versions of Nezumi Busters! on June 25, 2026, a revamped version of a 2020 mobile game that had over 500,000 downloads and was a Google Indie Games Festival 2021 finalist. The console launch followed the Steam version, which released on June 11 for 1,500 yen and included revamps and power-ups over the original iOS/Android release. A demo was available ahead of the Steam launch.

At BitSummit PUNCH, Odencat featured a demo of Dream Channel Zero, a collaboration with independent creator Fuming. The adventure game follows a young man named Akira and a hooded girl named Rumiko escaping a game world. Odencat provides technical support while Fuming is the lead creator. The demo showed surreal horror mixed with comedy, channel-based world navigation, and a punching combat system. The project marks a tonal departure for Odencat, known for warm bittersweet titles, into overt horror-comedy.

The two releases show Odencat expanding its audience through console ports and exploring new genres through collaboration. Nezumi Busters! reached a wider audience with its console and PC releases, while Dream Channel Zero gives Fuming's cult occult adventure style a wider release platform.
