Strange Scaffold’s next game launches in July, and it looks out of control.

Here’s what you can expect from the game, which has the full title Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!:

Pressed into the service of the newly-incarnated buff anime elf, you’ll speed your magic delivery truck to complete objectives across two worlds, running over pedestrians, sending them to another world as Truck-kun, and helping Carissa power up a Galactic Gate with the stars you generate together.

It’s coming to PC and Xbox on July 29th.
