Playtest Update & Road to August 12th!

Hi everyone!

About Playtest:

I originally planned to start the playtest a bit earlier this month, but since this is a co-op horror game, communication is everything. I decided to take a little extra time to fine-tune the voice chat and overall co-op stability. In a game where hearing your friends scream in panic is half the fun, I really wanted to make sure those screams actually go through properly!

To make up for the short playtest delay (and to get as much feedback as possible), I'm opening up the playtest to pretty much everyone who applied. Get ready for a chaotic, fast-paced test phase starting very soon.

About the Early Access Launch:

With August 12th, 2026 just around the corner, I'm entering the final stretch and this playtest is going to be super crucial. Just a heads up: since this is a test build, you will definitely run into some weird bugs and rough edges. The whole point of this test is to catch these issues now so they can be fixed before the official release.

How to Support the Game:

If you want to support the game, the best way to help right now is to wishlist the game, invite your friends to the playtest, and share the Steam page. As a solo dev, every single share and wishlist genuinely makes a massive difference.

For Content Creators:

Key requests are open! If you want to cover the game, you can request a key by joining the Discord server or sending an email (you can find the email address on my press kit site):

Thank you so much for your patience and support. I can't wait to share this journey with you all on August 12th!
