  • ReleaseDemo out today

A playable demo for Bolt of Whalington launched today, according to publisher JFGames. The discovery-driven Metroidvania centers on hacking the world in the player’s favor rather than simply moving through fixed routes.

The studio describes the game as built around discovery, with players finding ways to bend the environment to their advantage. The demo gives players a first look at that approach before the full release.

The email announcing the demo was a general newsletter sent to subscribers and did not include details on platforms, pricing or a full release date. Check the store page for where the demo can be downloaded.
