Hey everyone!

Since announcing Critical Shift, we've been thrilled to see your reactions! Thank you so much for your attention, thoughtful questions, good wishes, and kind words. It genuinely means a lot to us and brings with it a huge responsibility to meet your expectations. Seeing your sincere enthusiasm for the genre and atmosphere, as well as your mentions of the games that inspire us - it's truly a joy to share this virtual space with you!

Our goal is to deliver an incredible hardcore tactics experience, combined with atmospheric real-time exploration and woven through with a deeply dramatic storyline filled with dread and mystery. We're listening closely to what you want - and trust us, we're cooking something special!

To ensure we get it right, we're going to cook this dish together with you. Before the official beta on Steam later this year, we're planning several smaller-scale tests with a rougher version of the game, allowing us to refine the battle system with your valuable feedback.

If you're interested in participating, our Discord is the best place to keep an eye out for updates. It's also a fantastic space to join our community, ask questions, and talk directly with us about the game.

Stay tuned - and thank you again!
