Pao Pao is on China Joy

We’ve just returned from Shanghai with an incredible win: our game Pao Pao was named the most notable title of ChinaJoy 2025 and received the show’s top award directly from the organizers.

ChinaJoy is the largest gaming event in Asia, welcoming over 300,000 visitors every year. This year, it brought together publishers, developers, and players from around the world - and we’re proud that Pao Pao, created here in Moldova, drew more attention than hundreds of other projects. This isn’t our first international recognition: in May, Pao Pao won the Grand Prize at Nordic Game in Sweden, one of Europe’s most prestigious industry events. Out of dozens of nominees from across the globe, the majority of participants cast their votes for us.

Pao Pao is our bright open-world adventure full of quirky characters and unusual quests. Players can explore islands, build farms, gather rare resources, and turn a tiny restaurant into a true legend. On Steam, the game has already gathered over 100,000 wishlists, and the demo is available for everyone to try.

Next, we’re heading to Gamescom in Cologne from August 20 to 24. There, we’ll be presenting two projects: the award-winning Pao Pao and our brand new title, Lootbound - a strategic roguelike set in a dark fantasy world, featuring turn-based tactical battles, inventory management, and mechanics inspired by classic dungeon-and-dragon adventures.
