Hey explorers,
This week, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the coolest (literally and figuratively) secrets hidden in the SAK’D demo: the Glacial Pass — a slippery, dangerous bonus level for those sharp-eyed players who love to explore.
🧊 Unlocking the Icebound Challenge
If you’ve already played the demo, you might have sprinted right past it. But tucked away in a shadowy corner of the level is a frost-covered door — a hidden portal to the Glacial Pass.
Those who discover it are in for a real challenge. This icy, high-altitude gauntlet throws everything at you:
-
Narrow, frozen platforms
-
Slippery physics
-
New enemies like the Pengu — quick, clever, and unpredictable
-
And finally, a showdown with the chilling Ice Drake, whose freezing breath can turn your heroic run into an instant slip ‘n slide into death.
🛠️ Still a Work in Progress — But Packed with Personality
Like much of what you’ve seen in SAK’D, this bonus level is still in development — we’re constantly refining the visuals, physics, enemy behavior, and sound design. But even in its current state, the Glacial Pass adds an exciting layer of discovery and depth to the demo experience.
It’s not just a level — it’s a reward for players who take their time, search every nook, and aren’t afraid of a little cold.
🎮 Why We Made This
We wanted the demo to be more than just a vertical slice of the game. We wanted it to have secrets, surprises, and replayability. Bonus levels like Glacial Pass are our way of saying: we see you, curious player — and we’ve got something just for you.
And for the record, yes — the demo is a standalone prequel experience to the full game. Everything you’re discovering now is laying the groundwork for the much bigger adventure ahead.
🚀 Try It Yourself – And Help Us Grow
The current demo (complete with the secret Glacial Pass level) is 100% free and available right now on Steam.
