The action adventure follows an amnesiac soul named Waltz and a puppy named Jam through Downtown, an afterlife built from seven worlds themed after the seven deadly sins. Each world ends in a boss. Jam transforms into a ball, a trampoline, and a water gun; Waltz collects toys. A demo is on Steam.","whyItMatters":"A release date turns Krafton's subsidiary-built action adventure into a scheduled product, and the Steam demo gives it a feedback window before the Switch 2 and PS5 launch.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe game is built around pairing rather than a single moveset. Jam changes form on demand, becoming a ball, a trampoline, or a water gun, while Waltz collects toys hidden in each area and uses their abilities to trigger mechanisms and clear enemies. Solving the puzzles placed along the route depends on combining the two.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDowntown is split into seven worlds, one per deadly sin, and each has its own scenery and color palette: a lively restaurant, a castle where light and shadow intersect, a desert that spreads like the sea. A giant boss waits at the end of every world. Waltz, who wakes with no memory, takes on the seven trials to complete a ticket to Uptown.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Waltz and Jam ships with a Steam demo already live. Flyway Games gets Krafton a storefront foothold before the December 3 launch, and the demo is the only signal players have on whether the seven-sin structure holds up.","twitterPost":"Flyway Games ships Waltz and Jam under Krafton with a Steam demo already live, so the December 3 launch arrives with player feedback in hand before release.","threadsPost":"Krafton's Waltz and Jam lists a Steam demo alongside the December 3 date. That demo is the piece carrying the real risk: Downtown's seven worlds each end in a boss, and one demo section is all Flyway Games gets to prove the loop before the full launch.","newsletterBlurb":"Krafton dated Waltz and Jam for December 3. Flyway Games developed the action adventure, in which Waltz, an amnesiac soul, and Jam, a puppy that turns into a ball, a trampoline, or a water gun, cross seven worlds themed after the deadly sins and fight a boss at the end of each one.
