Demo For Cozy Cartography Game Map Map Available Now In Cerebral Puzzle Showcase
Explore beautiful island environments and try out fun map-making mechanics for award-winning indie
Hamburg, Germany - May 29th 2025 - Pipapo Games are delighted to announce that a demo is now available on Steam for their upcoming cozy cartography game about making maps and finding hidden treasure, Map Map, as part of the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase, running from May 29th to June 5th.
Fresh off being nominated for Best Prototype at the German Computer Game Awards 2025, adding to their awards and nominations for Best Audio and Game of the Year at Reboot Develop Blue 2025 and Best Indie Game at DEVGAMM Lisbon, among others, Pipapo have launched the new demo to let players experience what it is like to explore Map Map’s colourful world. You will travel across islands and explore ancient ruins, be introduced to the game’s fun map making mechanics, unlock new cartography tools like the step counter and scale reference, and even find some buried treasure!
In Map Map, you set off on an adventure with your crew to uncover the mysteries of a lost civilization known as ‘the raven people’ and find their legendary treasure. Get to know the unique characters that compose your crew at the outset and welcome new friends into the fold as you progress. Discover their stories and personalities as you discover secret places, ancient ruins and delightful animals on your cartographic adventures. Enjoy a pressure free experience without distracting quest markers that lets you uncover this whimsical world at your own pace.
As the crew’s trusty cartographer, you will fill out what starts as an empty map on each island with ruins, landmarks and other key locations. Doodle on your map and unlock fun stickers to help you place landmarks as accurately as possible. Unlock new cartography tools as you progress to help you deal with the map making challenges that you encounter on the way to leading your crew to the hidden treasure.
“As a small team, it’s been incredible to see the response to our cozy map-making game,” said Project Manager and Environment Artist Clara Müller. “Showing the game off at last year’s Wholesome Direct and being nominated for Best Newcomer at the German Computer Game Awards a couple of weeks ago have been some amazing high points for us. Letting players finally try the game for themselves today with the new demo is the next big step and we’re really excited to hear everyone’s feedback as we continue to map our way to release!”
