What’s new since the last playtest
On October 10 we’ll also publish a dev update that:
summarizes what we’ve achieved since the previous playtest,
highlights key improvements and fixes,
includes the trailer link and a direct link to our feedback form
We carefully read every response from the previous playtest — they were detailed and super insightful. Many of your suggestions are already reflected in the current build. In short, your feedback directly shapes our priorities and next updates.
Mini-FAQ
Q: How do I get access?
Click “Request Access” for the playtest on this Steam page. Everyone who requests will be granted access at start time.
Q: Can I stream or share footage?
Yes! We aren’t doing a special creator outreach this time — we want to test in a cozy, friendly group — but if you stream or post videos, we’ll be thrilled to see them.
Q: Where do I report bugs and suggestions?
Use the feedback form — it’s available in-game, in this start-of-playtest article, and in Discord. Feel free to share ideas and chat directly with the dev team there.
Q: Languages & input? UI: the same set listed on our Steam page (work-in-progress quality). Keyboard & mouse; controller support is WIP.
See you on October 10!
