Hello brave Wanderers!
We hope you’ve entered the new year on a positive note, and we wish you an amazing 2025! Of course, we hope it will be even better thanks to the launch of Songs of Rats, which, just as a reminder, is scheduled for March 10, 2025 - not much time left until the big premiere! :)
Today, we have some important information to share with you. As we approach the launch, we want to share a demo version with the community during one of the upcoming Steam festivals. Since we’re a very small team, it’s challenging to conduct a full Q&A before launching the demo and then the full game. So, we thought a good approach would be to hold a public Playtest of Songs of Rats. And that’s exactly what we’re excited to announce:
The official public Playtest for the game is now live!
It would mean the world to us if you could check out the game in its current state and share your feedback in the comments. Please note, however, that the Playtest version has some limitations:
- This version includes all the gameplay mechanics and modes that will appear in the full game, but the story length and sandbox mode are limited.
- A save system is not yet available.
- The full version will also include additional languages and gamepad support.
- We are also working on an additional story mode featuring an extra scenario.
Access will be granted to all players who have submitted an application. To do this, simply go to the game's page on Steam and click the green "Request Access" button. You'll immediately be able to start downloading the game and join the ongoing playtest!:)
Also a few gameplay tips:
- At the beginning, try to avoid fights - you might prefer to focus on buffing your character with better gear.
- During confrontations, you can heal your character by using First Aid packs or eating food.
- If the enemy is clearily stronger than you - try to run away!
The playtest will run at least until the end of next week, January 19th! After that, we plan to take it down and focus on preparing the playable demo for the upcoming Steam Festival.
We’re eagerly looking forward to your feedback, as it will help us create a better-balanced demo and full game. Thank you in advance for your support!
As a small but passionate indie team, your support means everything to us. We’d like to emphasize once more how much it would mean if you could consider adding Songs of Rats to your wishlist - it’s a small gesture that makes a big difference. Thank you! 😊
