Hey all, this is Kev. Just a few days ago, we mentioned we were "almost ready" for controller testing:

Well, today is the day! In order to test, you'll need to switch over to the experimental branch and be updated to the latest version: 0.16.0.3 (v.505172). The instructions for switching over are below:
How to join the experimental test
You can jump into the experimental branch (new content in English-only) using the instructions below:
- Right click As We Descend -> Properties -> Betas
- Use this code in the Private Betas field and hit check code: descendingDeeper
- Press the blue button that says "Opt into"
- You're all set for testing with a clean, independent save file!
The branch is our branch with new changes and adjustments which might also introduce instability; if you want a more stable experience, you should generally play in the vanilla app without the branch enabled. The branch has its own save file as a subfolder within your Steam Cloud Save* (if you have it enabled)*. If you want to test from scratch, great! If you'd rather pick up testing with content unlocked, you can use the "Unlock All Mode" in the settings. Alternatively, you can port over your save. Full instructions for porting over your save can be found in our discord, just follow the instructions in this post.
If you have feedback, you're welcome to use whichever option is most convenient for you:
- The in-game bug reporter (F2)
- The steam discussions thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1769830/discussions/0/583932416070005885/
- Leaving feedback in our official discord
Hope to see you in game,
Kev and the team at Box Dragon
