PARCO GAMES Brings Three Indie Demos and Anniversary Sale to TGS 2026
PARCO GAMES has announced its Tokyo Game Show 2026 (TGS2026) exhibition plans, bringing a four-title booth to Makuhari Messe from September 17 to 21. Business days run September 17–18, with the general public admitted from September 19–21. Located at booth 09-C65, the publisher will offer hands-on demos of Finding Polka, Constance, and DEPERSON, alongside its immersive entertainment project Tōyaku Jiraku (盗薬次楽). Visitors can also receive novelty items tied to each title and a copy of the “PARCO GAMES JOURNAL” pamphlet during the event.
Each demo reflects a distinct indie flavor. Finding Polka, released August 12, is an interactive adventure tasking players with locating the dog Polka somewhere on the map; developed by Japanese studio lidlocks, it is available on PC for 1,500 yen (~$10). Constance, from Germany’s Blue Backpack, is a 2D action adventure in which players wield a paintbrush to traverse a beautiful, crumbling mental world; priced at 2,300 yen (~$16), it supports PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with the Switch version now available. DEPERSON, an in-development 2D psychedelic horror adventure by Turkey’s Error Thing, follows Aaron, who wakes with lost memories in the controlled state of Indriya; its price remains unannounced.
Finding Polka has earned broad recognition, taking “Most Wholesome” at gamescom 2026, the SI80 Excellence Platinum Award at TGS 2026’s SELECTED INDIE 80 Excellence Awards, “EXCELLENCE IN ART” at BIC Awards 2026, and a double win at BitSummit PUNCH 2026 for Visual Excellence and Kids Selection. DEPERSON has also been nominated for Best Visuals at gamescom 2026 and EXCELLENCE IN ART at BIC Awards 2026. Marking the label’s first anniversary since its August 2025 founding, the “Stories of PARCO GAMES” bundle sale runs September 2–30, offering Finding Polka, The Berlin Apartment, Constance, and Antarctic Plan (南極計画) at 10% off on PC.
Attendees who present wishlist registration screens for eligible titles will receive novelty giveaways, and PARCO GAMES will take part in official TGS sessions on September 17, including a cross-industry publishing panel featuring PARCO game business development head Yuichi Nishizawa. Beyond TGS, the label will appear at Tokyo Game Dungeon in October, WePlay Expo in China in November, and Taipei Game Show in January 2027. Meanwhile, its roughly 100-minute immersive suspense walk Tōyaku Jiraku, which builds on the spring 2025 Ikebukuro PARCO run that sold out all 1,135 performances, is running at PARCO_ya Ueno with a new cast through September 30. With three playable indies and an award-winning lineup on hand, this booth looks well worth a stop for TGS visitors.
