All the beauty of the Middle Ages at your fingertips. Outside the Blocks is coming to Steam on November 4 – demo available now

Just something beautiful – that’s the easiest way to describe Outside the Blocks, created by Michał Kubas, an independent developer from Poland. The game is coming to Steam on November 4, and players eager to try out building detailed, realistic medieval dioramas can already check out the new demo. Outside the Blocks lets players unleash their creativity in a simple and enjoyable way, allowing them to craft unique, atmospheric constructions and models.

Outside the Blocks is a game without missions, objectives, or competition. Instead, the developer hands players a set of intuitive tools and a sandbox full of possibilities. That makes it easy to create stunning medieval-style buildings, from tiny chicken coops to majestic, intricately detailed manors, or even entire miniature villages. And it doesn’t stop there – each diorama can be brought to life with lovely animations, allowing you to fully enjoy your creation.

Outside the Blocks demo is available again, and I can’t wait to see the amazing creations made by players this time. Since the demo was last public, I’ve improved several key mechanics, including adding the ability to undo moves. My goal is simple – to create an advanced yet easy-to-use tool that lets anyone feel like a true artist. I’m counting down to the full release coming on November 4. Get ready for even more options and possibilities that will let you fully experience the beauty of the medieval world.

– said Michał Kubas, creator of Outside the Blocks.

With a wide range of options, players have complete control over every aspect of their diorama – from shaping the terrain, constructing buildings and decorative elements to adjusting the weather and atmosphere. Combined with a variety of objects, materials, colors, and accessories, it offers endless opportunities to craft miniature masterpieces. Finished creations can be placed under a glass dome and captured using the advanced photo mode, making it easy to share your works with friends and the community.
