On 28 May 2026, Pipapo Games will release Map Map – A Game About Maps on Steam. The game will be launched alongside the Thinky Direct, the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase and the Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration. Map Map will be released during these showcases as part of a coordinated launch. Pipapo Games partnered with Rekoup from Sweden for publishing support.
Map Map is a cozy exploration puzzle game in which players must navigate unfamiliar islands by observing the environment and drawing their own maps in order to progress and search for hidden treasure. The developers write: "The defining rule is that no map is provided. Players must measure distance, mark landmarks and document points of interest directly onto a blank chart. Incorrect or incomplete maps can lead to disorientation, while accurate mapping helps players understand where to go next."
Ahead of the release, a new update for the demo is available. This introduces expanded divider tools, enabling players to draw straight lines and circles when mapping. The world map has been visually overhauled to improve readability and navigation. Mission directives have been adjusted to provide clearer guidance.
