Humanity, the newest game from Tetris Effect publisher Enhance, has you play as a glowing Shiba Inu to direct crowds of marching humans through Lemmings-like puzzles. Yes, it sounds strange, but you’ll be able to get your hands on it starting Thursday, so at least you can pass judgment on it for yourself.

I’d recommend watching the trailer first, though. As the dog, it seems you’ll help direct the faceless humans across all sorts of environments, obstacles, and opposing humans to lead them to safety. The game’s campaign mode will include 90 levels, but you’ll also be able to make your own maps and puzzles for others to try.
The game, which was first announced in 2019, is coming to PS4, PS5, the original PSVR (yes!), PSVR 2, and PC. A demo will be available beginning Thursday, though you’ll only be able to play it until March 6th at 3AM ET. Unfortunately, demo progress and demo stages you make won’t carry over to the final game, according to an FAQ.
Humanity is set to launch in May.
