New interactables

Cue sticks
Cue sticks can break during a fight, leaving fractured pieces that remain usable as improvised weapons.
Brands of Beyond
A world with its own labels.
These fictional brands are part of the wider Beyond Sandbox universe. They appear throughout Chapter 1 and will return in future locations and chapters, giving the world a shared identity wherever it goes next.

Reactive systems
The sandbox now reacts.
Pour a drink. Strike the lighter. Light a cigar. Small actions connect naturally, making the bar feel more alive and believable.
A
Liquid simulation
Pour, transfer, consume, refill, and build new interactions around physical liquids.
B
Combustion
The combustion system begins with a working lighter and a cigar that burns, forms ash, and changes over time.
07
Intoxication
Drinks now have consequences.
Players and NPCs can become intoxicated after drinking. As the effect builds, movement becomes less steady, controls lose precision, and vision starts to distort.
Reduced mobilityLess precise controlDistorted vision
09
Creator capture
Built to be played—and shared.
With native LIV support, Chapter 1 becomes a stage for creators. Capture moments worth remembering, turn them into original content, and share the chaos beyond the game.
