The Arcade Crew announced that the Assoupi-developed platformer MainFrames will receive a free demo as part of Steam Next Fest, taking place October 14 through October 21, 2024. The game will launch on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam in early 2025.
A new trailer showcased the demo gameplay and what players can do. The main systems allow players to interact with the in-game program and create new pathways to progress.
MainFrames takes players on a whimsical platforming adventure set entirely within the confines of a computer monitor. As Floppy, an inquisitive program, you’ll explore a digital landscape filled with quirky characters and hidden secrets, all while piecing together your purpose in the system. Along the way, cheeky daemons work behind the scenes, maintaining balance but always managing to stay just out of reach. Each interaction adds humor and personality to the world, giving players a fun and engaging experience as they help Floppy on their journey.
The gameplay centers around rearranging program windows to create new pathways, allowing Floppy to jump between different frames in a vibrant and visually diverse digital environment. With a mix of clever puzzles and charming platforming elements, MainFrames offers a satisfying experience enhanced by a relaxing, lo-fi soundtrack that makes it easy to get immersed in the adventure. The game’s creative mechanics, combined with its playful narrative and subtle secrets, make it an appealing choice for fans of indie platformers looking for something a little different.
We’ll keep you updated on the development and release of MainFrames.
