The PANGIT Playtest will run from October 16 to 25.

Participants will get access to the game’s prologue — approximately 1–1.5 hours of gameplay featuring exploration, resource gathering, lockpicking, drone use, crafting, and combat.

Welcome to the Buffer Zone

PANGIT is a single-player third-person survival action game set in Eastern Europe in 2047.

You play as an operative known as Ghost, sent into the sealed-off Buffer Zone.

Here, you’ll explore abandoned facilities, search for supplies and ammunition, find new ways forward, and stay alert to what’s happening around you.

Resources are limited, and exploring your surroundings can be just as important as knowing how to shoot.

Not every path will be open from the start.

Some rooms and passages will require you to find another route, the right tool, or pick a lock. And behind a locked door, you might find exactly what you need to survive your next encounter.

Your drone will help you explore the Buffer Zone.

Use it to scan the environment, locate useful objects, and gather more information about what lies ahead.

But not every situation can be resolved peacefully.

The prologue will let you experience PANGIT’s combat system, try out several weapons, and face enemies that will make you think carefully about every remaining round and resource.

What will be available

The playtest includes the full PANGIT prologue and the opening story events of the game.

During the playthrough, you’ll be able to experience the core mechanics:

• exploring locations;

• searching for resources and useful items;

• lockpicking;

• crafting;

• using the drone;

• combat;

• the beginning of PANGIT’s story.

The average playtime is around 1–1.5 hours, although this will depend on how thoroughly you explore the environment.

Why hold a playtest?

The main goal of the playtest is to see how players experience the prologue under real-world conditions.

I especially want to understand where players run into difficulties, how clear the tutorials are, whether resources feel sufficient, how the balance feels, and which elements still need additional work before the public PANGIT demo is finalized.

How to participate

If you have already clicked “Request Access” on the PANGIT Steam page, you don’t need to do anything else.

If you haven’t, you can request access at any time before the playtest begins.

No keys are required. Everyone who requests access through Steam will be granted access.

There is exactly one month to go until the playtest begins.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll share more about the changes made to the game, what will be included in the playtest, and the areas I’m particularly interested in getting feedback on.

See you in the Buffer Zone on October 16.
