Overview
Description

The quirky story unfolds as you uncover the haunted hat’s legacy, battle feline wardens, and ultimately break free from the crumbling theater in a chaotic, comedic finale. The game blends humor, challenging platforming, and cooperative fun across single‑player and multiplayer modes.

In Puppeteer, young Kutaro is turned into a headless puppet and must traverse a magical, ever‑changing theatre to reclaim his head and find his way home. Armed with enchanted scissors, he slices through obstacles, swaps heads for new abilities, and uncovers a haunting story told through lights, sets, and narration.
