Montpellier, France (June 6, 2026) | Kiwi studio Dead Teapot Games and French publisher Dear Villagers (The Forgotten City) have fully revealed their next game, Shape Sender Deluxe, during the Frosty Games Fest with a new trailer. The upcoming puzzle narrative game is set to release in Fall 2026, on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store) and Nintendo Switch™.
Shape Sender Deluxe is a narrative puzzle game personified through its mascot and “creator,” Sendy. Sendy will talk directly to players and invite them to complete physics-based puzzles, and even create their own levels, all while commenting on their attempts and creativity when it comes to progressing through the 90 levels of the game.
“Shape Sender Deluxe encourages creativity in every level - wild, elegant, or stupid-but-it-works are all valid solutions, and it's up to the players to decide what they want to bring to the game. I'm super excited to see what the players do," said Tana Tanoi, game director at Dead Teapot.
Thanks to a set of tools and their own craftiness, players will complete levels by sending shapes from one pipe to another. As they progress through the game, Sendy’s attitude towards them will develop in several quirky ways, leading to all kinds of off-the-wall situations with increasing challenge, new shapes, tools and obstacles to compose with.
On top of their adventure with Sendy, players will be able to create their own levels in the Level Editor mode to share with friends or simply create GIFs of the solutions they come up with.
The already available demo on Steam, featuring dedicated levels and dialogue, has been updated to now include a brand-new Level Editor mode, allowing players to create their own levels with a limited set of tools.
Shape Sender Deluxe is a narrative puzzle game set to release in Fall 2026 on PC and Nintendo Switch. For more information, visit the official website at https://deadteapot.games/.
