Esophaguys Team are proud to unveil an all new Steam and Xbox demo for Esophaguys, their upcoming physics-based platformer about old folks with elongated necks. Get ready to swing yourself around in 1-4 player guttural mayhem across co-op, competitive, and solo game modes when Esophaguys launches this Spring on PC, Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox platforms.
The Grand Prix Winner at Tokyo Game Show 2024’s Sense of Wonder Night competition, Esophaguys casts players as a gaggle of old folks who can stretch their necks at will. Stretch, bite, and swing together in co-op, compete in minigames for long-necked glory, and embark on a narrated story - all while featuring the world's first soundscape composed of twanging tones and elderly grunts.
Esophaguys features a dynamic physics system that drives the gameplay as you hurl your long necked avatars through the scenery and form chains, navigate curved terrain, and make use of various items. Progress through each mode to reunite and unlock the garb of your lost lengthy kin.
You are the Esophaguys, old folks with elongating necks! Stretch, bite, and swing yourself around in 1-4 player guttural mayhem: co-op, competitive, and solo.
