The dog then licks the child\u2019s face bringing the wholesome teaser to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, nothing has been revealed about what kind of game it is, and there isn\u2019t much in the trailer to draw any conclusions from. The YouTube description simply states, \u201cSomething new from Uvula.\u201d The visual style is simple, but attention is drawn to the character\u2019s mouth, and the dog licking the character is somewhat elaborate, so maybe there\u2019s some sort of connection to the gameplay.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">we are making a new game looks like this, and also looking for an engineer now.
