Greetings, Ravens!
Here we are! The Experimental Beta for Shores of Storm Island is now live on Steam. This is the first time that we try a beta for new content in Ravenswatch; we’re looking forward to hearing your feedback on this work-in-progress update!
Shores of Storm Island will fully release later this summer, once we feel we gathered enough community feedback and we had the time to polish the update.
Beware that the content is not final. We are still actively working on the Shores of Storm Island update, but we feel we’ve reached a good point where we need to listen to the players to improve the overall experience of this new Chapter! This is not the official release of Shores of Storm Island, therefore if you don’t like to partake in buggy, unstable and confusing experiences (we’re selling a dream here, right?), you may want to wait a little bit longer to try the new content. Stay tuned for the release date announcement!

How to get access to the Experimental Beta branch
The Experimental Beta branch is open to all! You will need to complete a painless process to access it:
→ Right-click on the game’s icon in your Steam library
→ Select ‘Properties’ then choose the ‘Betas’ tab
→ Use the drop-down list and select ‘storm_island_experimental_beta’
→ Let Steam update the game
→ Launch, and have fun!
To opt-out, repeat the process but choose ‘None’ in the drop-down list. You will be brought back to the live version of the game.
Wait, you don’t have the game yet? You will need to purchase an Early Access copy of Ravenswatch on Steam to access the Experimental Beta branch for Shores of Storm Island:

What about my save?
The Experimental Beta branch will function on a different save than your main one. A new local folder and file named ‘storm_island_experimental_beta’ will automatically be created when switching to the Beta branch, you must open the game and at least change one setting in the settings menu to make it appear. This means you will start a fresh new save on the Experimental branch and anything you do won’t be replicated onto your original save. You can also copy your current save (Profile_1.ob) and paste it into the ‘storm_island_experimental_beta’ folder if you don’t want to start fresh, but your progress on the Experimental Beta won’t be updated on the live version of the game.
⚠ We still recommend making a copy of your original save and storing it somewhere safe on your computer, just in case!
Here’s where you can find your saves:\Steam\steamapps\common\Ravenswatch\_Save
Once the Shores of Storm Island update will be live for all, you will be automatically switched back to the main Steam branch (you can opt out of the Experimental Beta branch at any given time).
How to share your feedback?
A dedicated forum on Steam and a channel on our Discord server have been created to share your feedback on the Shores of Storm Island Experimental Beta.
Please, always specify which version of the game you’re playing while doing your reports (live or experimental beta). This will help us when sorting feedback and issues.
We will also share a feedback form in the next couple of weeks.
You are welcome to record and post videos of your experience on the Experimental Beta online, no NDAs here :)
