A demo is available now on Steam, and a new release date trailer is out. Here is what is confirmed, what you can already try and what has not been announced.

Release date and platforms

- Release date: December 9, 2026, according to the press release and the Steam page. No launch time has been given.

- PC: Steam and Epic Games Store. The Steam page lists Windows and macOS, and Millionhare's Steam announcement also mentions Steam Deck.

- Consoles: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, all at launch according to the press release.

- On Steam the game is listed as a paid game, but no price was shown on November 9.

What kind of game it is

- Wish Upon A Llama is a single-player life sim RPG with pixel-art visuals. You are Llama Town's new rancher, and your goal is to rekindle the forgotten bond between the townsfolk and their animals.

- Steam lists it under Casual, Indie, RPG, Simulation and Strategy.

Animals, breeding and the adoption center

- You raise generations of companions such as bunnies, capybaras and horses. Each animal has its own colours, patterns, personality and inherited genetic traits, and babies inherit characteristics from both parents.

- The developers promise more than 50 breeds to discover through breeding.

- Activities include walks in the countryside, fetch, talking to your animals, baths, gifts and mini games such as dancing. You can also find and befriend strays in forests, beaches and fields.

- You run Llama Town's adoption center: you choose which animals are ready for a new home and match them with residents' personal requests. Adopted animals stay visible around town with their new families.

Townsfolk, romance and family

- The town has a cast of residents with their own stories, from a bookish doctor to a self-taught physicist. The Steam page announces 21 dateable characters.

- You can marry, start a family and raise children who go to school, with help from the grandparents.

- Mini games with friends include jump rope, town cleaning, trivia and spelling bees. Adoption fundraising unlocks new infrastructure and locations such as vacation islands.

Demo, beta testers and accessibility options

- An updated demo is available on Steam. Millionhare's October 19 update added new areas, a clothes shop and salon, new mini games and controller and Steam Deck fixes.

- Polishing work announced for the full game includes a Chill Economy Mode, a Screenshot Mode, optional auto door entry and a slower game speed option.

- Beta testers who were active in the two Discord test rounds keep their copy of the game at launch, according to the studio.

- The Steam page lists accessibility features such as playable without timed input, keyboard-only option, colour alternatives, contrast controls, camera comfort and custom volume controls. Controller support on PC is listed as partial.

PC and Mac requirements and languages

- Windows: Windows 10 64-bit, 2.0 GHz 64-bit processor, 4 GB of RAM, 256 MB of graphics memory, DirectX 11 and 1 GB of storage (minimum).
