This month, we focused on improving comfort and clarity for our playtesters. The goal: make every match smoother, more readable, and more enjoyable, while continuing to add new features.
Thanks to your feedback, we worked on game ergonomics, in-game information, visuals, and bug fixes that were slowing down gameplay. All of this is helping us prepare for the Steam Next Fest in June 2026.
Here’s a quick look at a few highlights from this update:
New quests that improve map balance
Death announcements that clearly notify players when they’re eliminated
The new emote wheel for fast, fun communication
What’s next?
We’re already working on a game guide, increasing the maximum number of players to 15, a gameplay teaser, a full Steam page overhaul, and reworked roles that are even more fun. A little surprise we can’t wait to show you!
In the meantime, join our Discord to test the game and share your feedback. And if you like the project, add it to your Steam wishlist to support us!
