Om dette spil

A single-player puzzle game that transforms traditional chess into a minimal, immersive journey. Every move is a step deeper into the world Beyond the Board, where shifting tiles and puzzles reveal the hidden fractures within the game’s very foundations.

During a chess match, a mysterious lightning strike disrupts the game, shattering the board and sending the pieces into unknown depths. Left with only a single Rook, you must chase the enemy King through this new three-dimensional chess realm, in order to seek answers and the rest of your party.

In this chess journey, each level features puzzles that incorporate standard checkmate strategies but with new rules and conditions, requiring players to think outside the box. The game also includes switches that trigger moving blocks, creating more complex and dynamic levels, and making the environment feel more alive.

In this world, you'll face many enemy pieces with unique curses. To defeat these pieces, you must understand their behavior and outplay them. At the end of each chess kingdom, you must face a Boss piece. These tough challenges, once conquered, will reveal more secrets about the world beyond the board.

Our levels feature hidden paths, similar to Metroidvanias, which become accessible as you unlock specific pieces and expand your party. Using the Level Selector you can revisit past levels with with different set of pieces. This can lead to new paths and puzzle solutions.

There is still much to come in this upcoming project! Wishlist and support us in bringing to life this world of shifting tiles and mind-bending puzzles!
