🚨 The Gates of The Well are Open!
Attention, Exiles.
The gates to The Well have officially groaned open. Your sentence begins now.
From this moment until March 11th, you are invited to test your luck and your logic in the official King’s Well Playtest. The machines are hissed to life, the cards are shuffled, and the King is watching.
⚙️ How to Participate:
Access is immediate: No Codes, No Waiting.
Visit the King's Well Store Page.
Scroll down to "Join the King's Well Playtest".
Click "Join Playtest" and download the build instantly.
🎰 What to Expect in This Build:
Poker-Powered Combat: Use your cards not just for points, but as the literal "fuel" for visceral mechanical weapons.
The Machine Engine: Experiment with different "Machine Slots" like The Rusty Gun or The Splitter to manipulate your hand and maximize damage.
Poker Synergy: Form Full Houses, Flushes or the elusive Royal Flush to trigger massive bonuses and devastating ultimate attacks.
Tactical Roguelite Loops: Navigate a procedural map of rusted vertical labyrinths, battling robot sentries and upgrading your gear at rest areas. (This is a playtest version so it will be roguelike for now)
Atmospheric Horror: Immerse yourself in a world of leaking steam pipes, rusted copper gears and the oppressive hiss of hydraulics.
