Press release:
August 12th, 2026 – Tokyo, Japan. PARCO GAMES proudly presents Finding Polka, a heartfelt interactive adventure from the Japanese creative studio lidlocks, available on Steam today, August 12, 2026. Follow the trail and piece together the clues in a beautiful story about hope, connection, and never giving up on the ones you love. Finding Polka is the latest in PARCO GAMES’ line-up of distinct and engaging titles, including The Berlin Apartment, Constance, and Antarctica Project.

Talk a walkies on the mild side

Frendy has been living a quiet life alongside his beloved dog, Jazz. But one day, he catches sight of a dog in town that looks exactly like Polka, his cherished childhood companion. Unable to ignore the feeling, Friendy follows its trail, setting off on an oddball journey you’ll never forget.

Whimsical adventures await as you lose yourself in Polka’s world, where you must keep your eyes peeled and discover a quirky cast of characters that make the journey even more special.

Paws for fun

100% hand-drawn in ballpoint pen, every tree, path, and tiny detail has been lovingly illustrated by hand.
Be on the lookout for hidden nooks, curious secrets, and friendly faces waiting to say hello.
Explore bustling towns, peaceful forests, and shimmering coastlines, with delightful mini-games tucked away in unexpected places.
With expressive animation, charming sound design, and no traditional dialogue, this magical world speaks straight to your heart.

This chilled-out canine caper is definitely a cozy gamer’s best friend, and you’d be barking mad to miss out.

What you desire might surprisingly be close by.

But sometimes, even if you reach out, you can’t grasp it.

Still, you move forward. It’s okay to stop and look back sometimes.

I would be very happy if this game could be a work that accompanies someone’s steps like that.
