16:00 UTC (18:00 CEST • 12:00 ET • 9:00 PT • 00:00 China Standard Time — Oct 11 • 01:00 Japan Standard Time — Oct 11) At that moment we’ll grant access to everyone who requested the playtest here on the Steam page, and the build will appear in your library.

What’s new since the last playtest
On October 10 we’ll also publish a dev update that:
summarizes what we’ve achieved since the previous playtest,
highlights key improvements and fixes,
includes the trailer link and a direct link to our feedback form
We carefully read every response from the previous playtest — they were detailed and super insightful. Many of your suggestions are already reflected in the current build. In short, your feedback directly shapes our priorities and next updates.
Mini-FAQ
Q: How do I get access?
Click “Request Access” for the playtest on this Steam page. Everyone who requests will be granted access at start time. Q: Can I stream or share footage?
Yes! We aren’t doing a special creator outreach this time — we want to test in a cozy, friendly group — but if you stream or post videos, we’ll be thrilled to see them. Q: Where do I report bugs and suggestions?
Use the feedback form — it’s available in-game, in this start-of-playtest article, and in Discord. Feel free to share ideas and chat directly with the dev team there. Q: Languages & input? UI: the same set listed on our Steam page (work-in-progress quality). Keyboard & mouse; controller support is WIP.
See you on October 10!
