Beyond The Board is set to challenge your perception of chess and puzzle games alike, as announced by Fragile Shapes Studio. This intriguing new title, described as a fusion of Monument Valley and Limbo, invites players into a mind-bending world where the chessboard becomes a surreal adventure. You won’t need to be a chess grandmaster to dive into this experience; all you need is a curious mind ready to explore the unknown.

The game introduces a minimalist aesthetic where you guide a lone Rook through a landscape of shifting tiles and abstract puzzles. Unlike traditional chess, the pieces in Beyond The Board defy the grid, creating a non-linear path that demands a different kind of strategic thinking. As you navigate this existential maze, you’ll find yourself questioning the very foundations of the game world. This isn’t just a chess game—it’s an adventure that twists your perception and challenges the boundaries of traditional gameplay.

For those eager to delve into this unique adventure, the demo is now available on Steam. You can also catch a glimpse of the gameplay with the first look trailer revealed during the OTK Games Expo:
