Giraffe and Annika is an indie, action-adventure and rhythm video game hybrid developed by Atelier Mimina and published by Playism, NIS America, and Koei Tecmo Games. It released on February 17, 2020 for Windows, August 25, 2020 for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, and August 27, 2020 for Xbox One.[1][2][3] The game revolves around Annika, a catgirl who finds herself stranded on the island of Spica with amnesia. She must recover her memories with the help of a boy named Giraffe by finding three special star fragments. The game uses a pacifist battle system where fights are done through rhythm based action.
Giraffe and Annika received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its visuals, story and battle system, but criticized the game's short length and "bland" design.
