Dear Villagers and Dead Teapot Partner Up on Shape Sender Deluxe
Kiwi studio Dead Teapot Games and French publisher Dear Villagers have revealed their partnership for the release of narrative puzzle Shape Sender Deluxe in 2026, ahead of a full presentation of the game during the Frosty Games Fest which will take place on: June 6th, at 6pm EDT / June 7th 12am CEST / 10am NZST.
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.
“Partnering with such a forward-looking publisher like Dear Villagers has been really great for Shape Sender Deluxe. Having a level editor, level sharing, and a competitive post-game mode means we're working towards the long-term community engagement to hopefully have players that celebrate each other's creations and wins for years to come!” - Tana Tanoi, Game Director
A demo introducing Sendy and the gameplay, including demo-exclusive content with dedicated levels and dialogues, is available right now on Steam.
