First Public Demo - William and Sly

[h2]PUBLIC DEMO[/h2]
William and Sly is a 3d open world platformer, which is a distinctly difficult genre to offer a demo for. But we wanted to be sure players would have an opportunity to test the game for themselves, and get a feel for things ahead of it's planned release (Coming: Spring 2024)

This demo walls off an early portion of the game, so you are still free to roam and explore - but will be spatially limited in a way will be torn back down upon a paid release. You'll be introduced to the game's key characters, exploring a lush plateau area, with the ability to dispel two towers that have emerged in this area.

[h2]CLASSIC COLLECTION[/h2]
Don't forget, the original William and Sly games are on offer entirely for free, as a part of the William and Sly: Classic Collection. A bonus game, The Everloom, was also added in a recent update to that Collection!
