BACKER ALPHA NOW AVAILABLE FOR EXPLORERS+
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1423338684
Our Backer Alpha build is now available for Explorer level backers and above! ($50+)
Please log into your BackerKit to access the Steam key under the Digital Downloads page. We’re excited to announce that this is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux!
Note that unlocking the Alpha access on Steam does NOT mean you are locked into downloading Underworld Ascendant on Steam for your final digital download when the game launches.
If you had access to the Pre-Alpha/Prototype build, you do NOT need a new Steam key. The Underworld Ascendant app should update on Steam to the Backer Alpha Build.
For more information on what’s in the build, what you can expect, and a feedback form, check out our page here: https://otherside-e.com/wp/welcome-to-alpha-underworld-ascendant/
