The Messenger
A chess-themed puzzle game.
Set in the universe of chess, where our king has abandoned us. Having already lost the battle, we must send a message to our fellow townspeople in hopes of getting them to safety.
Navigate through a series of handcrafted levels where the goal of each level is to take one of our pawns to the other side of the board, making the pawn our most vital piece.
Think of each level as a little puzzle similar to sokoban rather than chess, while the movement rules are the same as chess.
You will have to strategize, use all your pieces and also the enemy AI to your advantage to win. Good luck.
