The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo is a surreal and fully animated quirky 2D point & click adventure.

Mr. Coo has one simple wish: he's craving for a juicy red apple. But he lives in a weird, surreal world full of strange creatures, scary monsters and a mysterious lady with two enormous eyes. Worst of all, they all seem to have one goal in mind -- make his life difficult.

Mr. Coo is stuck in a weird, nonsensical world, and he needs your help to get out of it – but first of all he’ll need to find all his pieces and be whole again! There might be some philosophical strife behind all this nonsense, but with all the chaotic monsters, crazy robots and one-eyed ladies it’s kinda hard to say. 

With an astounding and colourful 2D cartoon art, fully hand-drawn and a surrealist and whimsical story, full of absurd humor, wacky characters, crazy situations and innovative puzzles, The Many Pieces Mr. Coo is a fresh take of the graphic adventure genre that will bring together veterans and newcomers alike. And don't miss the captivating soundtrack by composer Julie Reier.

Developer Nacho Rodriguez, supported by the PlayStation Talents Program and publisher Meridiem Games announced that The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo will be available PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) on September 7, 2023.

The first physical edition is the Fantabulous Edition of The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo. In it, in addition to the collector's item you've always wanted without knowing it, you can find an exclusive case, different for each platform, and a unique keychain of the character.

The Fantabolous Edition will be released for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch in specialized stores across Europe.

And now we also know that there will be another physical edition of the video game, also distributed by Meridiem. As we were saying, it will be called Coollector Edition and will be loaded with more irresistible items than delusions you will find in the game's plot: a different exclusive case for each platform, the exclusive Mr. Coo character keychain, a flipbook with two exclusive animated stories, a mysterious watercolor by artist Nacho Rodriguez, a Mr. Coo puzzle cut up like a calfthe artist's making off book and a 7" vinyl with the game's music created by Julie Reier. All this packaged in a collector's box that will delight collectors.

But beware, the Coollector edition is limited. Only 1000 units for the whole of Europe, which is a big Europe, on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

Interested fans can check out a playable PC demo available.
