Out of This World
Escape an alien world in MacPlay's limited cinematic platformer demo.
Delphine Software, 1992
A playable first chapter
MacPlay's original Macintosh demo offers the opening segment of Eric Chahi's cinematic platformer. The startup card explains the movement and action keys and directs players to the retail game for the full adventure.
The unchanged demo reaches the outdoor area in Systemless. Press Return on the welcome card, choose 640 × 400, and press Return during or after the opening cinematic to reach the welcome card again. Press Return once more to enter the level. Hold keypad 8 or the Up arrow on the first playable screen to swim upward; brief taps may not be enough. Shift continues after a death.

Permission
This is the unchanged, intentionally limited MacPlay promotional demo. Its own startup card calls it a fully playable version of the first segment, says that play returns to the demo card at the end, and invites purchase of the full game. It is not a retail copy or modern port; the archive does not state a broader redistribution licence.
Notes
Downloaded 754,038-byte StuffIt 5 archive, SHA-256 cb93f4ae64a70a1b00f7bab9e9ba1ce66bb16e2238f74302a605331d3f2a01c9. The archive contains Out of this World Demo 1.0.1 and a limited set of game data files. The outer folder bears a 2023 archival timestamp while the application and demo data bear 1992 dates; this does not establish that the StuffIt envelope is the publisher's original package.
