Announcing the SONZAI Playtest - sign up here!

We’re excited to open sign-ups for the first round of SONZAI playtesting!

SONZAI is a completely hand-drawn action RPG set in Kumotoshi, the only town in the world where magic exists - combining magical town exploration and relationship building, alongside stylish combat, dungeon clearing, and combo-driven character action.


SONZAI is especially made for players who enjoy both sides of that experience: strong storytelling and relationships, but also real-time action combat and skill-based gameplay that asks you to learn its flow.

If this sounds interesting to you, then we'd like you to help shape the future of SONZAI, and ensure it can be the best experience that you want to play!

This first playtest round is focused on Chapter 1.

Because SONZAI is a large, story-rich game with six chapters, we want to test it progressively as development continues. This first round will focus on the opening chapter, and making sure the game’s early experience is as strong as it can be.For this round, we’re especially looking for feedback on:

  • the opening / first chapter

  • tutorialization and onboarding

  • early combat flow and clarity

  • how the balance between story progression and character-action combat feels

Even if you can’t join this first round, signing up is still useful! We expect to continue playtesting later chapters in future rounds, so signing up now means you can stay in the pool for future testing opportunities.

Sign up for playtesting here:

For this first round, playtest discussion and feedback will take place through the Top Hat Studios Discord:

👉 https://discord.gg/kGpBnbuBVA

In terms of when the first playtest round will begin, we'll notify everybody via email when we have a set date for this. Stay tuned!

Thanks so much for your support!
