About Demon Tides
Demon Tides follows Beebz and her crew as they sail the endless seas of Ragnar’s Rock, blending platforming challenges with open‑world exploration. The game emphasizes a highly expressive movement system that lets players combine abilities like paragliders, hookshots, and bubbles to navigate hidden nooks and distant structures.
Beyond solo adventure, players can race ghosts, place graffiti for the world to see, and customize Beebz with outfits, headgear, and hair dyes. Talismans scattered throughout the ocean modify the move‑set, while a mobile hub lets you purchase items and set personal checkpoints before meeting any untimely demise.
01 / THE GUIDE
Expressive Platforming Move‑Set
The core of Demon Tides is a “deeply expressive platforming move‑set” that encourages players to craft unique solutions. Abilities such as paragliders, hookshots, and bubbles can be combined, giving each run a personal flow.
The game promises “nearly unlimited combinational depth,” meaning the more comfortable you become, the more distinct your gameplay will feel.
- Experiment with different ability combos in safe areas before tackling tougher sections.
- Observe how each talisman alters movement to discover new traversal styles.
02 / THE GUIDE
Seamless Open Ocean
Players navigate a “seamless, open ocean” at “blazing speeds,” visiting distant structures and hidden secrets across Ragnar’s Rock. The world is designed for free‑form travel without loading screens.
A mobile hub lets you pause the journey and buy items, and you can place your own checkpoints wherever you choose, ensuring you can return after any mishap.
- Place a checkpoint before attempting long jumps across open water.
- Take time to explore side islands; they often hide talismans and outfits.

Talismans and Ability Modification
Hidden chests contain talismans that “modify your abilities,” adding tools like paragliders, hookshots, and bubbles to the move‑set. Collecting them expands the ways you can traverse the world.
These talismans are described as “unique,” suggesting each provides a distinct mechanic rather than a simple stat boost.
- Prioritize talismans that complement your preferred movement style.
- Keep track of which talismans you’ve found to avoid redundant searches.

Outfits, Headgear, and Hair Dyes
The game offers “a plethora of discoverable outfits” along with head gear and hair dyes, allowing you to “change up your drip.” These cosmetic options let you personalize Beebz’s appearance.
While primarily aesthetic, the variety encourages players to express themselves visually as they explore and race.
- Mix and match outfits to create a look that matches your movement style.
- Check hidden areas for dyes and other cosmetic items.
05 / THE GUIDE
Ghost Racing and Graffiti Sharing
Players can “compete with other players for speedrunning times by challenging their ghosts,” adding a competitive layer to the platforming experience. Ghosts represent other players’ best runs.
Additionally, you can “tag a wall and share your message with the entire world,” letting personal graffiti appear in other players’ worlds.
- Study ghost paths to learn efficient routes before attempting your own record.
- Create graffiti that marks useful shortcuts for the community.
