Hello everyone!
A massive thank you to everyone who has participated so diligently in our playtest over the last few days/weeks! Your feedback and bug reports are worth their weight in gold and are helping us make Varthos even better.
What happens next?
Playtest End: We will be ending the playtest today at 18:00 (6 PM).
Demo Launch: Shortly after, we will be unlocking the Demo for you!
The Demo gives you a compact glimpse into the world of Varthos based on the current state of our Early Access version—and best of all: Multiplayer and Controller Support are, of course, directly included.
Feel free to keep sharing your thoughts with us here on Discord or in the Steam forums.
See you in Varthos! ⚔️
