The Promotion: An Unusual Walk Across the Chessboard

 The Promotion, created by Jon Topielski, is a short and experimental game that redefines the concept of "walking simulator" by placing us on a giant chessboard. Don't expect complex strategy, but rather an atmospheric and introspective experience.

Conclusion
The Promotion is a small gem for those looking for something different. If you enjoy experimental games and contemplative atmospheres, give it a try. It's free, short, and will leave

You control a pawn, advancing through the squares while an organ melody creates a tense yet contemplative atmosphere. The goal is simple: reach the end of the board. But a decision awaits you there: which piece will you promote to?

  • Original Concept: Mixing chess with a walking simulator is a fresh and unusual idea.

  • Atmosphere: The organ music and minimalist environment create an immersive experience.

  • Simple Controls: WASD or the arrow keys are all you need to move.

  • Free: You can enjoy this experience for free at itch.io.

The minimalism of the environment contributes to the atmosphere.

The tense wait... which piece to choose.
