Dear Wishweaver,
Greetings from Starside!
Animula Nook is about to open its very first limited, data-wipe Alpha Test for overseas players — with in-game purchases disabled. Sign-ups are now live!
Before you apply, please read the information below carefully. Once you’re ready, click Animula Nook Official Website to fill out the form for a chance at a test slot.
For this test, we’ll be inviting players via Steam on PC only. You’ll be among the first residents to shrink together into Minietopia, discover small wonders in every corner, and help this tiny world grow into a warm, story-filled home.
🚨 Alpha Test Essentials (Must-Read Before Applying)
Account Access: Facebook / Google Only
This test only supports login via Facebook or Google accounts.
Important Reminder: Please remember and safely keep the Facebook or Google account you use when logging in on the Animula Nook Official Website. This will be your sole credential for receiving access and logging into the game.
If you previously pre-registered on the Animula Nook website using X (Twitter) or Apple, you must log in again using Facebook or Google, re-confirm your pre-registration, and fill in the survey. Otherwise, you will not be able to obtain Alpha Test access. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Device Binding Rules [Important]
First-Device Binding: Your account will be tied to the very first PC you use to log in to the game. Unbinding or switching devices is not supported.
Login Issues: If you cannot log in, it may be because your current device does not match the one bound to your account. Please switch back to your original bound device to access the game.
✅ Kind Reminder: Please decide on your primary testing device before installing and logging in for the first time.
Only valid identity: Please remember and safely keep the Facebook or Google account you use to log in on the Animula Nook Official Website. This is your sole credential for receiving access and logging into the game.
Security Warning: To avoid unnecessary loss, please do not trust any information regarding account sharing, trading, or the sale of test installers. Protect your personal information and game assets.

📧 How Test Access is Granted & Checked
Q: How will I know if I’m selected? How do I claim my access?
We provide two ways for you to confirm your status:
Check Your Email: Once recruitment ends, Starside will send invitations in batches. If selected, an email containing your Steam CD Key (CDK) will be sent to the address provided in your survey.
Note: Please check your "Promotions" or "Spam" folders and search for our sender address: [email protected] to ensure you don't miss it.
Eligibility Check Page: After access is granted, we will launch the Alpha Test Eligibility Check Page (stay tuned for the official announcement). You can log in using the same Facebook/Google account you used for the Sign-up Survey and check your access status with one click.
[Crucial]: Your Facebook/Google account is your sole credential for both checking eligibility and logging into the game. Please keep it secure.
Redeeming Your Access:
Selected players will receive a Steam CD Key (CDK) via email. You can redeem this key directly on the Steam platform to add the game to your Library. Detailed activation instructions will be provided by Starside before the test begins.
Q: I really want to participate! Should I fill out the survey on multiple platforms?
A: No need. If multiple applications are detected, we will only consider your most recent submission. Filling out the survey once on any platform is enough.
Q: Can I edit my response after submitting the survey?
A: No. Responses cannot be edited once submitted. Please double-check all details—especially your Email, Discord UID, and Discord Username—to ensure you don't miss your invitation.
Q: Can I transfer or lend my test access to someone else?
A: No. To maintain a fair and healthy environment, we strictly prohibit any form of account trading, lending, or transferring. Any confirmed violations will result in the immediate revocation of test access. Please do not trust any third-party offers to buy/sell accounts or installers. Protect your personal information and assets.
Q: Does this test support controllers?
A: Not at this time. This Alpha Test supports keyboard and mouse only. We plan to adapt more platforms and input methods in the future—please stay tuned!
Q: If my friends and I both get access, can we play together?
A: Definitely! This Alpha Test supports multiplayer co-op, so you can explore Minietopia with your friends anytime!
Q: Can I stream, record, or share screenshots on social media?
A: We’d love that! As long as you follow local laws and platform regulations, we do not place strict restrictions on reasonable content sharing or discussions. We welcome you to share your favorite moments and creative content from Minietopia with the community! Note: We reserve the right to pursue legal action against malicious behaviors, including data mining, asset theft, or intentional slander.
Spring is blooming, and Minietopia is ready for you. Let’s shrink together and find small wonders.
With warmth,
Starside, Animula Nook
