“Over the past year, I’ve spent a lot of time talking about how
wonderful it is that SCEA has helped me make such a
personally-inspired game. Now that launch day is here, I hope
everyone has a chance to play Papo & Yo and see this isn’t just
a game about my childhood; our whole team has worked hard to
create a fun, magical adventure that should speak to players
everywhere, and I can’t wait to hear stories from those who
experience it!” said Minority creative director Vander
Caballero.
Papo & Yo features the unlikely duo of a young boy named Quico
and a huge, mostly-friendly beast named Monster. Surprisingly,
Monster’s most threatening feature is not his set of razor-sharp
teeth, but his addiction to poisonous frogs. After devouring
one, Monster catapults into a violent rampage from which no one,
not even Quico, is safe. As Quico, players must navigate their
way through a magical, puzzle-filled world to save their beastly
pal from the biggest danger of all: himself.
