If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Faith from Mirror’s Edge stumbled into an Aperture Science lab armed with Magneto’s gauntlets, your specific (and awesome) daydream has finally arrived.

Distant Shore: BRETAGNE has officially dropped its debut demo on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest (February 23 – March 2, 2026). Developed by a veteran team of French indie devs, this first-person physics sandbox is already making waves for its “break the level” philosophy and high-octane traversal.

Physics as Your Playground

In BRETAGNE, you aren’t just following a glowing red path. While there is an intended parkour trail, the game’s core mechanic—Magnetic Gauntlets—invites you to throw the rulebook out the window.

• Manipulate Everything: You can attract, repel, bend, and even break metal structures.
• Creative Traversal: Use magnetic forces to catapult yourself across gaps or rip down a metal sheet to create a makeshift bridge.
• Momentum-Based Movement: The parkour feels fluid and fast, rewarding players who can chain magnetic boosts with slides and wall-runs.

A World Under Watch

Set in a post-apocalyptic version of the French region of Brittany (specifically the “West Zone”), the atmosphere is thick with mystery. You play as an operative searching for your missing brother in a world ravaged by climate collapse.

But you aren’t alone. Looming in the sky is The Cloud—a sentient, ominous weather entity that tracks your every move. It’s part survival, part puzzle, and entirely immersive.

Why You Should Play It Now

The demo isn’t just a vertical slice; it’s a challenge. The developers have included a leaderboard system, inviting speedrunners to see how much they can “break” the environment to find the fastest routes. If you enjoy the freedom of Garry’s Mod mixed with the polished movement of a modern platformer, this is a must-download.

“We want to give players the tools to turn physics into their ultimate creative tool.” — Distant Shore Development Team
