and Roger heads to Android and iOS on June 18, 2026

If you want a phone game you can actually finish before the next stop, and Roger is the kind of June release that earns a look. Kodansha and TearyHand Studio are bringing the interactive novel to Android and iOS on June 18, 2026, alongside Switch 2, after its original Switch and PC launch through Steam on July 24, 2025.

That short runtime is the hook. and Roger is split into three chapters and can be finished in about one hour, which puts it squarely in premium mobile territory instead of the usual live-service grind. On a phone, that matters. This is the sort of game built for a commute, a lunch break, or one uninterrupted evening, not for stacking stamina timers or chasing a daily loop.

The setup is immediately off-kilter. The story stays in the young girl’s perspective, starts with an ordinary morning, then veers into something much stranger when she finds a stranger on the couch instead of her father. The stranger tells her to get ready and take her medicine, and the official store warning calls out uncomfortable aspects of reality, with advice to step away if the material becomes overwhelming. That is exactly the kind of compact, unsettling setup that works when a game is trying to leave a mark fast.

The reception has already given the mobile version a lot to live up to. Steam lists the game as Overwhelmingly Positive, and the page features praise from Kotaku, Game Informer, and The Indie Informer. It has also piled up awards, including the Grand Prix and Best Audio at the 2026 Taipei Game Show Indie Game Awards, plus the Emotional Impact Award at Six One Indie’s Indie Game Awards. Kodansha also says the game earned a BAFTA longlist nomination in the Game Beyond Entertainment category.

The June 18 update will also add 20 new languages, including Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, Latin American Spanish, Ukrainian, Thai, Polish, Russian, Danish, Swedish, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, Hungarian, Romanian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Turkish, Bulgarian, and Greek. That makes the Android and iOS release more than a straight port. It turns and Roger into a much broader premium pickup for players who want a complete story in one sitting, with the phone version looking especially sharp for anyone who values compact narrative games over another sprawling release.
