Calorie Mate's New 3D Action Adventure Game Set to Launch in 2025!

Exciting News for Gamers and Creatives: Calorie Mate's New Adventure Game

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., headquartered in Tokyo, has announced the release of "Calorie Mate FOR GAME CREATORS - JELLY MISSION -" a sequel to their successful 3D action-adventure game. This new installment is set to launch on September 19, 2025, and aims to deliver balanced nutrition to game creators, echoing the company’s commitment to supporting those who inspire creative thinking.

This follows the previous successes of the Calorie Mate Creator Support Series, which started in 2020 with "Calorie Mate to Programmer" and continued with "Calorie Mate to Technology" in 2021. Last year's release of the Calorie Mate Liquid game, tailored for avid game developers, received an enthusiastic response, trending at number one on social media platform X, with over 200,000 downloads and more than 900 hours of gameplay shared on YouTube.

This year's game again shines a spotlight on game creators who bring incredible worlds to life, helping them overcome common challenges like bugs, specifications, tight deadlines, and budget constraints. The gameplay brings to life the daily grind of these creative professionals in a humorous and engaging way, featuring a talking Calorie Mate jelly as its lead character.

Join the Adventure with Calorie Mate Jelly

Players will take control of the Calorie Mate Jelly as it leaps from the refrigerator into a sprawling 2DK apartment. The goal is to deliver balanced nutrition to game developers, including game planners, CG artists, and animators. As players navigate obstacles and challenges, they will need to keep the jelly cool to succeed. The game includes 24 trophies to collect, each contributing to the customization of the jelly characters.

The game also features a star-studded voice cast including Yuichi Nakamura as the Apple flavor, Tomokazu Sugita as Lime & Grapefruit, and Rie Kugimiya as the Fruity Milk flavor, enhancing the immersive experience through diverse character performances. Continuing from last year, Akio Otsuka voices the Calorie Mate Liquid, adding depth and excitement to the gameplay.

As time passes, the jelly gradually warms up, creating a pressing challenge to reach the goal while maintaining its cool state. Players must overcome obstacles, such as files and nodes from the creator's chaotic workspace, to complete missions and earn trophies.

The game will be available for a limited time from September 19 to December 31, 2025, and can be downloaded for free from the Steam store. Interested players can find the store page here and watch the game play trailer here.
