Permissions
- You may record, stream and publish the whole demo, start to finish. There is nothing held back and nothing to hide.
- You may show the level editor too: it is part of the demo. Build a level on camera, play it, publish it on the Steam Workshop of the demo, or play the levels other players shared there.
- You may monetize that content, on any platform, including ad revenue, sponsorships, memberships and Super Chats.
- There is no embargo. The demo is public, so anything in it can be shown the day you record it.
- No key is required for the demo, and no install either: it also plays in the browser at https://uralys.itch.io/faraday-corridors. If you would rather have a build of the full game, or a key for another platform, just ask.
- You do not need to credit anything beyond the game name, though a link to the Steam page is always welcome.
The demo in one paragraph
The demo is chapters 1 and 2 in full: 24 puzzles, plus 8 short tutorial levels placed right in front of the mechanic they teach. Expect around an hour for a first run, less if you skip the medal chase, much more if you go for platinum. The demo ends on 2-17, four room rotators on a single pawn, which is the hardest level of the demo.
The demo also includes the level editor: you can create and play up to three levels of your own, and the full game lifts that limit.
Controls
Everything is playable on keyboard or controller, and the game switches between the two live.
| Action | Keyboard | Controller |
|---|
| Move | Arrow keys | D-pad or left stick |
| Rush (hold to glide) | Hold SPACE | Hold R2 |
| Switch pawn | SHIFT | A / X (retrigger pads) |
| Pawn focus (hold) | CTRL | L2 |
| Confirm | SPACE or ENTER | A |
| Back | ESCAPE | B |
| Restart the level | R | Y |
A Settings toggle (Automatic rush) removes the dedicated rush key: holding a direction is then enough to glide. Useful if you find the hold awkward on camera.
What is worth showing
- The first switch, chapter 1 level 6. The moment the grid stops being a maze and starts being a machine.
- Break-rooms, chapter 2 level 10. A cell collapses for good once the last pawn steps off it. The first time it happens is usually a reaction shot.
- Multi-pawn coordination, chapter 2 levels 13 to 16. Two pawns, one solution, and the switch between them is the puzzle.
- Room rotators, chapter 2 level 17. Four rotators on a single pawn, the hardest level in the demo.
- Rush Mode and the medals. Solve a level, then run it again holding the rush key. The gold and platinum medals are speedrun targets, and every scored level has an online Hall of Fame leaderboard.
- The level editor. Start from an empty grid, wire a door to a switch, then play your own level in one click. The guide walks through a first level step by step: https://www.uralys.com/faraday-corridors/editor
- The Steam Deck build. The interface is redrawn at 1280x800 rather than upscaled, and Steam Cloud carries a save between Deck and desktop.
Good to know on camera
- Levels are short. A wrong move costs seconds, not minutes, so the game reads well on a live stream.
- The grid is readable at any size: nothing important is conveyed by a small detail or a fast animation.
- There is no timer forcing you along, and no fail state. Restarting a level is one key away.
Audio
The game has no voice acting. You are free to keep the game's music and sound effects in your video, muted or not, as you prefer. If a platform ever raises a content claim on the soundtrack, write to chris dot dugne at uralys dot com and it will be sorted out.
