In an exciting announcement, publisher Red Art Games and developer Holy Cap unveiled their upcoming project, Promenade. This nostalgic side-scrolling platformer collectathon is set to release on consoles and PC via Steam in 2023, captivating players with its charming visuals and engaging gameplay. Promenade takes players on an unforgettable adventure through a world full of secrets and challenges.

To restore the elevator and save the day, players must embark on a quest accompanied by a helpful companion—a populp with a range of abilities.
Drawing inspiration from beloved 3D platformers such as Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Spyro the Dragon and the more recent Super Mario Odyssey, Promenade aims to capture the essence of the genre while introducing its own unique twists. Players will go through different environments, solve intricate puzzles, move through dungeons, participate in exciting races and encounter amazing boss fights.

- Challenging Dungeons: Dive into dungeons full of dangerous traps, tricky enemies and fearsome bosses, putting your skills to the test as you try to beat each challenge.
- Object Manipulation: Use the various objects scattered around the world, each with their own special properties, to your advantage. Discover creative ways to interact with the environment and overcome obstacles.
- Collectathon Game: Immerse yourself in the joy of collecting lost gears, which serve as the primary objective of the game. Progressing through the Promenade will unlock new levels, expanding the adventure further.
