Hi everyone!
The Beta is on track to release at the end of this month so I thought it would be a good idea to lay out what to expect.
The Beta will take place in the starting city district (St. Revel) and include several locations to visit, including the first city hub: a rundown, gang-controlled and insular neighborhood called Boxtown.
Included is the introductory quest chain, which will bring the player into contact with the four major proxy gangs of the syndicates, and meet some of the primary movers and shakers of the city’s criminal elements. There are multiple ways to handle many of the tasks you’re set, with the usual being some mix of diplomacy, combat or bribes.
I’m not sure how to gauge the average playtime. My guess is that from hitting the New Game button to reaching the End of Beta message will probably take about 4 to 5 hours, but this is highly speculative, and it depends on what routes you take and how much you skip dialogue.
The Beta is planned for release on April 30th on Itch and Steam. For backers who have already funded me at 35 USD or above, expect a key or link at that time. For those who want to support the game and help test the Beta, there is currently an option to do so on my Patreon but keys won’t be available until the end of the month. I’m not able to include a Patreon link here due to Steam guidelines.
Thanks again,
