Its story, told through environmental storytelling, is one of growth. Throughout his journey, Nemo will learn to overcome his fears and self doubt. Promenade\u2019s creators were inspired by numerous and varied pieces of work such as \u00a0\u201cAlice in Wonderland\u201d\u00a0, \u00a0\u201cLittle Nemo\u201d\u00a0 \u2013 after which the protagonist too his name \u2013 \u00a0\u201cAdventure Time\u201d\u00a0, \u00a0\u201cPeter Pan\u201d\u00a0, \u00a0 \u201cGravity Falls\u201d\u00a0 and \u00a0\u00a0\u201cOver the Garden Wall\u201d\u00a0. And even though it is a 2D game, <em>Promenade<\/em> has also been inspired by 3D gaming classics such as <em>Banjo-Kazooie<\/em> and <em>Spyro the Dragon<\/em>. The game\u2019s creators worked tirelessly to reinvent as a 2D title a genre that is closely associated with 3D games.<\/p>\n<p>In the <em>Promenade<\/em> demo, players get the opportunity to try out four different gameplay sequences, as many times as they like. We carefully selected those sections of the game as we believe that they show what <em>Promenade<\/em> has to offer without spoiling the latter levels. The first sequence, called \u201dCavern of Awakening\u201d starts off with the opening cutscene and leads into the tutorial level. When they reach the end of the level, players have a good grasp of the game\u2019s controls.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/192.168.1.184_Image_271-c708aad40fe135c42fca.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-199780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/192.168.1.184_Image_271-c708aad40fe135c42fca.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/192.168.1.184_Image_271-c708aad40fe135c42fca-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/192.168.1.184_Image_271-c708aad40fe135c42fca-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/192.168.1.184_Image_271-c708aad40fe135c42fca-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The second sequence, \u201cSandy Stroll\u201d, is <em>Promenade<\/em>\u2019s first full level. On this sunny level, players will get to pick ups some of the game\u2019s very first cogs. Some are easy to spot, others are well hidden\u2026 Sandy Stroll gives players an idea of the various types of situations they will find themselves in during Nemo\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n<p>The third sequence, titled \u201cSlinghops\u201d, is a trial-type level. The trials are skills-based levels and tend to be the most difficult levels of <em>Promenade<\/em>. Once they\u2019ve managed to get to the end of trial levels, players can do it all over again.

Each boss fight is different and the heroic duo will have to use their skills and reflexes to defeat them.<\/p>\n<p>While <em>Promenade\u2019s<\/em> creators developed it with speedrunners and fans of challenging games in mind, more casual players will also be able their time with Nemo and his octopus friend. It is\u00a0 possible, and absolutely fine, to focus on less difficult cogs to get to <em>Promenade<\/em>\u2019s ending.
