Crescent Moon Games and Radical Forge released a demo of the unique 3D action game 'Screenbound' on PC via Steam, coinciding with Steam Next Fest. The demo lets players experience the core mechanic of simultaneously controlling a protagonist in a 3D world and a 2D character on a handheld console screen, solving puzzles that exist across both perspectives.
The demo for 'Screenbound' is now available on Steam, dropping during the ongoing Steam Next Fest. The game, developed by Crescent Moon Games and Radical Forge over two years, centers on a protagonist who finds a handheld console called 'Qboy' in a garage. Activating it pulls him into a space where a 2D handheld game screen and a 3D real world coexist. Players must control the 3D protagonist and the 2D character on the Qboy screen simultaneously, as objects like doors, ladders, and platforms exist only in one world. The developers said the demo incorporates feedback from an earlier version, adding a position adjustment function for the Qboy, tutorials, and updates to enemy behavior and area expansion.
