Wabisabi SushiDerby

Don an apron and step into the role of sushi chef in the BitSummit 2024 BIT KIDS AWARD winner. Train up different sushi types — each with distinct abilities — and strategically add stat-boosting ingredients. Cheer sushi on for speed boosts as they race laps around a restaurant conveyor belt, and help them avoid the hands of hungry customers.

In the demo, rise through the ranks as an apprentice chef and experiment with game-changing combinations of toppings like tuna, salmon and egg while racing to the finish line.

TrailRail

Impassable gaps require just a bit of imagination — if protagonist Rail can dream it, she can draw it! A magical wake is left behind all of her movements, which can materialize to form solid, moveable ground. Form bridges and platforms by running and jumping, then push, pull or rotate each creation into position to fashion a path across obstacles.

In the demo, solve six brain-teasing puzzles, with dozens of levels to be conquered at launch.

WabiSabi SushiDerby arrives on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch in 2026, with language options in English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. For more information, follow Itamae Studio on X / Twitter.
