Annapurna describes the story:

to a T is a 3D narrative adventure game developed by Keita Takahashi and the uvula team, with a strong focus on character, interaction, story and exploration. Play as a teenager (Teen), with a unique posture just trying to live a normal life in a small coastal town. Explore the town along with the help of Teen's loyal dog and loving mother. While going to school and contending with bullies, Teen discovers a new ability granted to them by their extraordinary posture, and they start to uncover more about their mysterious lineage.

UVULA is developing to a T. The game features an episodic story, minigames, town exploration, character customization, and "a very cute dog."

Annapurna and Takahashi first teased the game in July 2022.

Annapurna Interactive and Funemona previously collaborated on the Wattam game, which Takahashi and game designer Robin Hunicke directed. The game launched for the PlayStation 4 and PC in December 2019.
