Questy Chess.

Originally created by our very good friends at Dadako, Questy Chess keeps the classic piece moves, then adds power-ups, health, an inventory and puzzle levels to cross, so it is chess and also not chess at all. The whole game sits inside a fictional home computer, where every zone is a glitched sector waiting to be purged.

Twenty-four handcrafted levels, played out turn by turn on a grid. The pieces move as they always have, but a bishop carrying a power-up and a health bar is a different proposition, and the bosses guarding a sector do not play fair. Minimal Bauhaus shapes and a deep drone soundtrack keep it tense rather than cosy, and there are 26 achievements for anyone who wants to take the system apart properly.

It launched first on Playdate as part of Season 1 and reached Steam on 11 July 2025, for Windows, Mac, Linux and Steam Deck, in twelve languages including Japanese. We are assisting with bringing this over to home consoles.
