Evaluation

This is a free prologue demo that was intentionally removed from the Steam storefront by the developer. In May 2021, Alien Pixel Studios announced they would take the prologue down because the full game was nearing release and the prologue no longer accurately represented it — the story, level design, and content had all changed significantly during development. The full game, Unbound: Worlds Apart, launched on July 29, 2021. The prologue is no longer available for download, though anyone who previously added it to their library can still access it. No purchase options exist for this title.
Evidence
The full game, Unbound: Worlds Apart, launched. Developer confirmed the prologue's purpose was fulfilled.

About this game

Unbound: Worlds Apart Prologue is a short part of the upcoming atmospheric 2D Puzzle-Platformer where the main character, Soli, can conjure magic portals to travel between different realities in order to learn more about the catastrophe that ravaged his world. Inside certain portals, the physical properties of the character or world elements can change, offering new gameplay possibilities.


Unbound’s artistic approach can be summarized as a dark fairy tale presented in a cartoonish style, with the purpose to give the game experience a fresh look and feel. Curiosity and exploration will have an impact on the overall atmosphere.

  • Beautiful hand-drawn art
  • Rich puzzle environment
  • Nonlinear Story - Metroidvanian elements
