Sometimes there just aren't enough words in the English language. Not, that is, if you're designing the theme park of your dreams - an extraordinary adventure wonderland that's free from the constraints of science, where even the sky is no limit!

After all, to construct a collection of rides that really break the mold, you have to be able to think outside of the box. And this begins with the language you use. You see, to do it you must first see it. To see it, you have to be able to say it. And to say it sometimes requires something new. A new word or phrase that ventures beyond the confines of a dictionary.

This is exactly what Impossification in Park Beyond does. It opens up new prospects. It unleashes your imagination from the restrictions of reality, making the impossible possible. Isn't that precisely what you want from a fantasy theme park construction sim? The freedom to let your creativity go wild? The permission to embrace the impossible?

Park Beyond is due to be released on June 16th, 2023. Pre-order your copy at 2Game today and save 16% off RRP!

Create the Theme Park of Your Dreams!


A story-led campaign, Park Beyond puts you in charge of re-vamping an aging and old-fashioned amusement park to bring it back from the brinks of bankruptcy. The resort is on its last legs and it's down to you to recapture the excitement and joy of the industry. To reignite the thrill of the rides, rekindle the magic of the fairground, and of course, start raking in the profits.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, you are not on your own in this endeavour. You'll have Izzy the CFO breathing down your neck scrutinizing the financial implications of any decision you make. She's all about the bottom line. And then there's the original founder and stuck-in-the-mud dinosaur Phil, who is sure to make his presence known whenever you get too carried away with your pie-in-the-sky ideas. This was once his baby, after all.

Together, along with other staff members, you'll set out your vision for the theme park of your wildest imagination, interacting with customers and overcoming obstacles along the way.

Just don't expect smooth sailing. As with any business, there will be ups and downs - a rollercoaster of emotions. But don't take your eye off the prize. This is your opportunity to make history. To design and build a money-making field of dreams.

Impossification in Park Beyond: Pushing the Limits of Reality!

Impossification in Park Beyond is the magic-maker. It's the fairy dust you sprinkle on your craziest ideas to make them real. And it manifests in every aspect of this fantasy theme park sim, particularly in the construction of the rides.

Take the Carousel, for example. Immediately recognizable as the fairground staple that it is. It isn't your job to reinvent the wheel, after all. But Impossification adds an element of wonder. Something new to surprise and excite your customers. So, this Carousel not only spins around, but it unfurls into a multi-layered spectacle like some kind of animated wedding cake. It's different, and it's cool.

A Roller-Coaster Ride of Your Dreams

If you really want to let your imagination go wild, however, then it's the roller coaster design you'll want to focus your attention on.

Unlike rides like the Carousel where the Impossification upgrades are pre-written, with roller coasters you are completely in charge. The design system is modular, and you can tweak and adjust the ride to your heart's content. For example, where do you want your track to take you? Through the shops and restaurants? Down the mountain? Through the waterfalls? And do you want to add wings to the cart to shoot them through cannons? If so, just be sure to build a landing platform for them to land safely after their travel through the air!

And here's the catch. Yes, Impossificaion in Park Beyond adds an element of fantasy to your ride construction, but you'll find that the basic rules of physics and momentum do still apply. For example, as well as providing adequate landing platforms, it's important to ensure that carts are able to gather enough speed to survive the record-breaking distances you get them to jump from one piece of track to another.

With this nod to reality, Limbic Entertainment strikes a fine balance between letting your creative juices flow, and providing a framework within which you can test your construction skills.

Money and Amazement

There are two main objectives in Park Beyond: To make money and to create amazement. These objectives are reflected in the currencies and reward systems of the game.

The money currency and reward system are pretty self-explanatory. Money is what you get from paying customers, and it's what you need to pay staff and invest in new infrastructure. The more you get, the more you have available to spend, and the more profit you can accumulate. It's what makes the world go round. Indeed, without money, your business is dead in the water.

Amazement is a little more unique. It's not something you can count, but ultimately it is the essence of your campaign. After all, what's the point of designing a theme park if not to create magic and make memories? (OK, and also to make money, but we've already covered that one).

The amazement currency accumulates with every satisfied customer. That is, every time your customers experience something new and exciting. Or, every time they experience the effects of Impossification. With this accumulation of amazement, you can unlock research to help in the construction of your next wild and whacky ride, to bring to life more examples of Impossification. And so the cycle continues.

Until, that is you have to deal with a fly in the ointment. But you'll handle that when the time comes.

A Fun Roller-Coaster of a Game

So, we have a new word. A new concept. And it pretty much sums up the game. Impossification in Park Beyond is what takes the joys of a theme park sim and cranks up the excitement. It's the extra layer of enchantment. The additional twist and turn that amplifies the thrill of the ride. The sparkle of magic that creates the amazement, and the USP that gives the game its buzz.

An ode to childhood fantasies, Park Beyond is a game all about compelling fun and entertainment. A light-hearted sim that's sure to put a smile on your face, especially as you turn up the Impossification dial!

Indeed, it's fair to say that Impossification in Park Beyond is the beating heart of this upcoming venture. It's what allows you to construct the amusement park of your wildest dreams. A fantasy playground free from the constraints of reality.

Can you think of anything more rewarding?
