Hey there, Teleposters. It’s been a bit of a funny year for making plans and, under normal circumstances, we’d have given you plenty of opportunities to enjoy KeyWe at events all over. Don’t worry though, some of your favourite events have gone virtual for the time being, and we’re still giving you the chance to experience KeyWe as part of PAX and EGX Rezzed online this year!
Experience the Mailroom Mayhem
We’re just over six weeks away from KeyWe’s official launch date, but we know you’re all itching to tackle the Telepost. So, we’re bringing the KeyWe demo back to Steam one last time for the duration of PAX and EGX Rezzed online. The KeyWe demo will be available to download from the 15th to the 18th of July and will feature two main levels plus one bonus overtime shift for you to enjoy. Playable in both single player and online co-op, you’re sure to love exploring the Shipping Floor, typing up messages at the Telegraph Desk and feeding those hungry cassowaries.
Oh, and if you’re looking for someone to play co-op with, why join our Discord and meet the KeyWe community?
Getting Started:
You’ll be taken through a quick demo tutorial on the game before you can play in either single-player or online co-op mode.
IMPORTANT: There is no way to connect to online co-op until after you’ve completed the demo tutorial. If you are going to be playing online co-op, we recommend just completing the tutorial in single-player mode to save time.
Online Co-Op:
To connect with another player in online co-op mode, please complete the tutorial, wait for the main menu to load, then follow these steps.
1. Select “Online” in the main KeyWe menu.
2. One player will need to host the game by selecting “Create Room”.
3. The other player will need to enter the room key using their keyboard.
4. You will get a notification in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen telling you what the other player is doing once they’re in the room.
5. Select back to return to the main menu.
6. Select “Play” and choose a level, which will start for both of you.
Troubleshooting:
Players who have played previous KeyWe demos may need to delete old data from their PC as this may negatively interact with the newest KeyWe build. To delete your save data…
1. If KeyWe is running, close the application.
2. Open your PC’s file explorer and navigate to your C drive (this is usually under “This PC” or “My PC).
3. Open the C drive and click on the “Users” folder.
4. Open the folder labelled with your username.
5. Open the “AppData” folder.
6. Open the “LocalLow” folder.
7. Open the “Stonewheat_Sons” folder and delete all the files and folders located here.
8. Re-launch the KeyWe application and play as usual.
We hope you enjoy the KeyWe demo, and we hope you're as excited for the full version of the game to launch as we are! Remember, you can show your support for KeyWe by wishlisting on Steam. And make sure you're following us on Twitter for even more KeyWe content.
