Playtests and keys

Join a playtest

A playtest gives you access to a version of the game before its public release, in exchange for your feedback.

Apply

  1. Open Playtests in the menu: the open playtests are listed there.
  2. You need an account, a confirmed email and, for most, Steam linked (the game goes through Steam).
  3. Fill in your playtester profile once: country, languages, age, and the PC you play on. It helps us understand on which machine each bug happens.
  4. Click Apply on the playtest you want.

After you apply

  • Open playtest: no selection, first come, first served. You get your access right away.
  • Selected playtest: the team picks by machine, region and experience. You get an email if you are accepted, with how to get in.
  • Full: you go on the waitlist; the next free place is yours automatically, by email.
  • Some playtests are for members of the Discord: link Discord so your roles can be read.

During the playtest

Open the playtest page: it shows your access, the known issues (no need to report them) and a short survey to answer before it ends. When you report a bug or an idea, pick this playtest in the list so the team can connect it.

Afterwards

Your access can be removed at the end. Keep your profile up to date for the next ones: profile and machine data are erased 2 years after your last playtest, or earlier on request.

Keys and branch access are explained in Steam keys and access.
