SinPoDo today (October 15, 2025) announced that the release date for the PC game “[Chihuahua Controller]” has been set to January 9, 2026.
Currently, an updated demo version is being distributed during Steam Next Fest.
This game is a puzzle adventure where wizard Odi controls chihuahua Wawa, guiding it toward a flag. When Odi steps on an arrow, Wawa moves in the corresponding direction.
When Wawa obtains a flag, it trembles with joy and more arrows appear. Also, if Wawa dislikes something, it may destroy the platform itself.
Various stages are prepared—inside homes, city streets, even a demon king’s castle—and each requires different methods to satisfy Wawa.
For gameplay footage, check out the currently available trailer.
