Curved Space warps back into the Steam Autumn Game Festival spotlight with a fresh demo

Only By Midnight is proud to be bringing their debut title, Curved Space, to the Steam Festival: Autumn Edition. It’s launching on PC via Steam, as well as Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, plus next-gen consoles, early next year. Curved Space is a frantic third-person arcade shooter. Players can jump in early and play the demo on Steam today. From October 7th until October 13th, would-be spider wranglers can take an energy harvesting gunship out for a free test drive, showcasing the first act of Curved Space’s branching, reactive story mode, and wishlist it to be informed when a release date is announced.

Featuring a replayable and branching Story Mode (where player choices can have strange and far-reaching effects), and an endlessly escalating Arcade Mode for high-score chasing pros, Curved Space pays tribute to twin-stick and arena shooter classics while blazing its own trail. Set across a series of stations, asteroids and floating space constructs, players control a high-powered gunship turned energy-mining craft, simultaneously battling and leeching power from extra-dimensional alien spiders in order to power the future civilization.

Accompanied by a pulsing synthwave soundtrack courtesy of FiXT Neon, the demo features the tutorial and the first act of the Story Mode, giving players their first taste of Curved Space’s expansive arsenal of weird and wonderful weaponry, and their first few story branches to explore. PC players can also join a closed beta test via the Only By Midnight Discord channel and take an early peek at the Arcade Mode, as well as contribute feedback that will shape the game over the coming months.

Factsheet:

  • 2D twin-stick style shooter action wrapped around gravity-defying warped 3D arenas.
