Cosmo D’s highly anticipated jazz noir RPG Moves of the Diamond Hand is heading to Steam Early Access on April 13, marking a significant milestone for the independent developer.
The game serves as the spiritual successor to Betrayal at Club Low, the developer’s acclaimed espionage-themed RPG that earned praise for its distinctive style and compact design. This new chapter promises to expand considerably on what came before.
The early access release will feature the opening two chapters of the full game. According to developers, these sections represent a substantial leap in ambition, surpassing the combined scale and scope of all Cosmo D’s previous projects.
The narrative framework centers on navigating a vibrant circus setting while engaging in high-stakes political maneuvering. Players will find themselves immersed in a world of intrigue where personal connections and strategic choices drive the story forward.
Cosmo D has built a devoted following through unconventional game design that prioritizes atmospheric world-building and character-driven narratives. Moves of the Diamond Hand appears positioned to deliver another distinctly crafted experience that blends genre elements in unexpected ways.
The early access window will provide the developer with community feedback during active development, allowing for refinement before the full release.
