Morning everyone, fellow cultivators! We’re glad to be here once again to share the latest news on the development of Immortal Life. As discussed in the eighth volume of the Sunset Inn Messageboard, all changes happening during the rest of the year will be only available in the Alpha branch of the game. It means that everyone will be able to test an early version of new features, missions, and locations at the same time YiFang Studios uses everybody’s feedback to solve issues.
In addition to this reminder, we must warn you that English and Japanese support will be added at a later date. This decision has to do with the convenience of waiting for the patch to be ready before starting such delicate work as the translation of the game. Please bear all this in mind before going deep into this new update.
That said, it’s time to explore the new content available in the Alpha branch later this week, as well as some new optimization changes made to improve the game experience and your immersion in the world of Immortal Life.

HOW TO JOIN THE ALPHA BRANCH OF IMMORTAL LIFE
Step 1: For your safety, start backing up your save files!
This is the most important step as the files of the Alpha branch that will be saved in your Cloud storage will replace those you saved locally, damaging them permanently in the process. To prevent this, disable the Cloud Saving feature and visit the following path to copy the folder with your local saves to another safe location in your computer. Don’t switch to the Alpha test before taking this step.
Save Path: [Steam Library Path]/common/一方灵田/SavesDir/[A folder with numbers in its name]
Step 2: Switch the branch from your Steam library
- Right-click Immortal Life in your Steam Library.
- Choose Properties…
- Choose BETAS tab in the Properties menu.
- Enter the code, zhongtian2022 and click Check Code.
- Click the select button and choose alpha – alpha test to activate the new branch.
- You want to switch back? No problem, click the drop-down menu again and choose none – it will take you back to the Default branch.
And that’s all for today, dear cultivators. If you think there’s any feature, substory or recipe that should be included in the next version of the game, let us know and we will take it into consideration. Also, remember that we love seeing how much you enjoy testing the new content, so please share all your screenshots with us! We love to show people how creative you guys can be.
Have a great day,
YiFang & 2PGames
