First of all: wow.
The response to Eleanor's playtest program has genuinely blown us away. The volume of requests we've received from players eager to explore the manor — and meet Eleanor — has been incredible, and we are deeply grateful for every single one of you.
Because of this overwhelming interest, we've made the decision to pause open playtest applications while we work through the current wave. We want to give every tester the experience they deserve, and that means being thoughtful about capacity.
But here's the thing — we don't want anyone to miss out.
So we're fast-tracking something special: a public demo of Eleanor, coming as soon as playtesting wraps up.
No waitlist. No applications. No waiting to be picked. Just you, the manor, and Eleanor — free for everyone.
The demo will give you a real taste of what makes Eleanor unlike anything else in the genre: a ghost who actually listens, responds, and remembers — all running privately on your own machine, with zero data leaving your device.
Wishlist the game now so you're the first to know the moment the demo drops. The manor has been waiting long enough.
We'll see you soon.
