Smilegate FutureLab Foundation announced on Tuesday that the upcoming indie game & culture festival BeaverRocks 2025 will feature a variety of special events — including a dedicated booth for the acclaimed action-platformer SANABI.
Special SANABI Booth Featuring New Spin-Off ‘SANABI: Possessed Day’
Indie studio WonderPotion, the developers behind SANABI, will operate a special booth showcasing the newly unveiled spin-off title “SANABI: Possessed Day.” Visitors can play the latest demo on-site.
The booth will also offer a selection of SANABI-themed merchandise, including:
- The popular Cheolho Badge (originally a hit on Tumblbug)
- Stickers & acrylic stands
- Exclusive SANABI-branded shopping bags for all merch buyers
WonderPotion CEO Yoo Seung-hyun will also host a special developer talk titled “SANABI Postmortem: Things I Wish I Had Known,” sharing insights, lessons learned, and behind-the-scenes stories from the development process.
Guide & Questbook for All Visitors — Prizes From BeaverRocks and Lost Ark
