Find your way back to the surface by learning new movement patterns, out-maneuvring enemies, and helping stray figures in a surreal chess-inspired metroidbrainia.
Chess Peace
SteamAn indie game inspired by classical chess, awarded Metroidvanias, and is set in an abstract, surreal fairy-tale landscape. It invites players to take part in an adventure where the desire to ascend meets limited abilities, where a pawn can rely solely on its own strategy.
As a pawn who falls from the board, you’ll try to navigate the vast chess landscape and conquer figures unable to escape their memories of war. During your journey, you will learn new movement patterns, explore the colorful regions of the World Below, and meet its residents.
Choose a new moveset and attack set for each part of your travels. Learn to adapt to the different challenges offered by parts of the World. Unlock next abilities and reach pathways that were unreachable before.
Find a way through the guarded brick Gate, pass the bridge of the Emerald Ways, wander and immerse yourself in the Blissful Lands, and learn the different concepts of alchemy in the Shining Seminar. Reach the solemn Lighthouse and decide how your journey ends…
Encounter many fascinating characters who have found purpose in the regions of the World Below. Learn about their story and help them fulfill their dreams. Jump over fences with the Knight-errants, zoom through narrow corridors with the Messengers, travel exhausting lengths with the Fortresses.
In this strategic chess experience, explore new ways of thinking and immerse yourself in the World Below. While backtracking, find new solutions to once unbeatable problems. Speak to the residents, learn about their beliefs, and understand the grandeur of your journey.
