Ahoy Chess fans!
We're really pleased to share that the next game from Iteration Games, An Elaborate History of Chess, now has a a playable demo on Steam as part of this month's Next Fest!

The demo gives you the opportunity to explore the real-time strategy overworld, farming turnips, fighting rats, building castles, and promoting your pieces. Progress far enough in the overworld, and you'll have the chance to experience one of the turn-based dungeons, featuring combat, puzzles, loot, and intrigue.
As an added bonus, there is a special bounty available in Paper Pirates until 31st March 2025. If you have the An Elaborate History of Chess demo added to your Steam library and installed, this bounty will complete and unlock a special crossover outfit for you to use. We don't want to spoil it, but we think it's pretty fun!
If you play the demo, it would really help if you could consider leaving us a review on the demo's store page. Reviews really help with visibility, and will hopefully allow more people to discover both An Elaborate History of Chess and Paper Pirates. If you haven't already, we'd love it if you gave An Elaborate History of Chess a quick wishlist too, so you can find out when the game launches.
