If you’ve been missing that specific brand of magic from the PS2/GameCube era, Chibig (the creators of Summer in Mara) have just launched something you’ll want to see. Bel’s Fanfare officially hit Kickstarter yesterday and smashed its funding goal in just a few hours!

The Story: Cleaning Up the “Witch of the Sea”

You play as Bel, a small demon sent by her father to serve as an “aura cleaner” aboard a massive, decaying vessel called The Witch of the Sea. While the passengers think you’re just tidying up their negative energy, Bel is secretly working on a plan to free her family from the ship’s depths.

Why You Should Keep an Eye on It:

A Unique Mashup: It blends the 3D exploration and puzzle-solving of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask with expressive, bullet-hell combat inspired by Undertale.

The Gong-Shield: Your primary tool is the Ukoback gong-shield—use it to deflect attacks, absorb aura, and solve environmental puzzles.

Vibe Check: The art style is a gorgeous love letter to 3DS-era Zelda and the whimsical, slightly eerie atmosphere of Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away.

Platforms: Confirmed for PC (Steam), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and even the Switch 2!

Campaign Highlights

The campaign is currently live until March 7, 2026. Because they funded so quickly, stretch goals are already being unlocked.

Exclusive Rewards: Early-bird physical editions, a “Chipig’s Arena” collaborative challenge, and even a custom Bel figurine.

Estimated Delivery: Targeted for October 2027.

Pro-Tip: If you’re a collector, the “Golden Edition” includes the physical game and the figurine, but these limited tiers tend to move fast!
