Welcome, heroes of Goldwheat! It’s a pleasure to have you back. 💕

Since the end of our last playtest, our focus was to carefully deal with some of the features you already know while we had to develop new content.

Now is the time to test these fixes and break ’em again! Not only we’ll be holding a brand new event for you to fuss around, but we’re also finally bringing controller support for Shadows of Chroma Tower! Let me get you the details on these 😉

EVENT: Hunt the Golden Mimic! 🪙🔍

We’re already going to loot for the rest of our lives here… why not add some spice? ✨

We noticed from April’s playtest that just a few of you encountered the Golden Mimic. This little dude is pretty fast and tricky! And it holds a lot of loot, so we thought: let’s hunt those sassy guys!

Golden Mimics are carrying strange treasures... weirdly similar to them... We’re still figuring out what to do with the smaller one.

— A soldier’s note you found next the camp.

The rules are simple, and to join the event is even simpler! We’ll share some instructions when we open our servers. 🫰🏻

Controller support… is a work in progress 🎮

We’re still (suffering a little) through its implementation, but we wanted to give anyone interested an early preview of how it’s shaping up.

Back in June 26th, we shared a little bit on the work around this new feature. All this testing now will help us when we finally launch Shadows of Chroma Tower!

All we want to know for now is: are we in a good direction with the controls? Does it feel intuitive, even in this current state? Any inputs we’re missing here? Did you change our default bindings? You’ll be able to tell us everything about it in a dedicated channel when we open our servers.

But FYI, there are some recurrent issues we’re having that we want you to be aware of. We’ll share the exact list in our Patch Notes.

New content for you to test! ✨

Learn from our tutorial, explore new areas, PING AT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING! including new secrets

We’ll bring a list with our new content and all our fixes for you to break again when we open our servers, but everybody at our Discord will be firstly notified. So don’t miss out! You can join us through the link:

Until then…

The Tower awaits! ⚔️🔮

Community11 Sep 2026⚔️ OUR AUGUST PLAYTEST RESULTS! ⚔️🔮What did we test? Last April’s Playtest we mentioned that we would give some much needed care towards our backend systems, so we could not only add new content more effortlessly, but also help us expand the Tower’s dominion in the future. We spoke previously about one of them, but you experienced the other one a lot this time. Let us break this through. 😉 New matchmaking and multiplayer system…Community1 Sep 2026OUR PLAYTEST HAS ENDED!This shorter playtest was really valuable to us! We meant to put for testing not only our new matchmaking system (and oh boy, what a test for our nerves was that), but also our controller support! We also wanted to see how you perform with our new content and… how we need to fix them as well. 😅 We won’t take long to share our results for this playtest! But for now, here’s a snippet of what we’…Community30 Aug 2026PLAYTEST EXTENDED UNTIL AUGUST 31TH!Our servers collapsed too hard and too soon , so we thought it would be fair to give you guys a more time to play. 💕 But for those who already reached higher levels on our game, we have good news: THE LAIR OPEN ITS DOORS FOR THOSE WHO DARES TO FACE IT! For everyone who loves a challenge: go to the Lair and meet for yourselves the power of Mutators! Will you endure the Archmage’s powers? Thank…
