Music-adventure fans have a new date to mark on their calendars. Publisher Bandai Namco Europe and developer Metronomik are prepping Ondeh Ondeh Kaya’s Tasty Tale, an action-adventure game that fuses puzzles with rhythmic mechanics on PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. The announcement marks the official kick-off for the project’s communications, drawing directly on Southeast Asian cultures.
The video sequence released by the publisher showcases the heroine, Kaya, navigating a vibrant world alongside a creature named Ondeh. The footage highlights exploration segments where movement and interactions with the surroundings are synced to the music’s rhythm. It also shows the protagonist wielding her oversized spoon to take on various creatures and solve environmental puzzles.
"In Ondeh Ondeh Kaya’s Tasty Tale, players step into Kaya’s shoes and embark on a moving coming-of-age journey centered on family, courage, and self-discovery, with the goal of becoming an architect like her parents. To be certified, you must first pass a test: gather all the Giants of the world and perform the Ritual of Renewal to rejuvenate the flavors of the world".
The game hinges on syncing your actions to the soundtrack. To progress, clear obstacles and win battles, you must time your movements to the level’s tempo. This audio layer fuels not only skill activation but also unlocking new exploration zones and solving puzzles.
Bandai Namco has confirmed that the game will be available digitally across all download networks for each platform. A physical cartridge release is also planned, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 alongside its digital edition.
Details on accessibility options, the PC requirements, and future playable demos at upcoming trade shows will be announced by the publisher at a later date.
