Join the Playtest during the Survival Crafting Fest!

Greetings, explorers!  

We're excited to announce that Under a Rock is taking part in the Survival Crafting Fest, starting today, August 31st!   

As part of the Fest, something we've been looking forward to is finally happening: an Under a Rock Closed Playtest is opening its doors! 

During the Survival Crafting Fest, if you’re selected to take part in the Playtest, you'll have the opportunity to jump into the game, explore the island for yourself, and get a first taste of what we've been working on. Spots will be limited, but we’ll gradually open up more as the Playtest continues!  

How to join the Playtest 

The process is pretty easy:  

  • You'll just need to click the "Request Access" button that will be available on our store page during the Survival Crafting Fest. 

  • There are no special requirements to apply; everyone interested is welcome to request access. 

  • As mentioned above, please keep in mind that spots are limited, and access will be granted in waves by the system as the Playtest continues.  

  • If you are selected, you will receive a notification directly from Steam, letting you know that you've been invited to join the Playtest, so make sure to keep an eye on your account! 

Welcome to the island!  

This Playtest expands beyond the building-focused testing we've had during the summer and opens up more content for you to explore and test firsthand.  

You'll be able to explore a larger island and try out more of the game's survival systems (Tier 1) alongside building, including:  

  • Resource Harvesting 

  • Recipe Unlocking 

  • Crafting 

  • Combat 

Note: Please keep in mind that this is a Playtest version of the game and will be single-player only.  

Your Feedback is Important!  

Development is ongoing, and the game is still in its Alpha stage, currently focused on testing a limited selection of content and features, so please keep in mind that you may encounter bugs or things that are still being worked on.

That's also why your feedback is very valuable to us!  

We’ve created a dedicated questionnaire where you can directly share your feedback and report your findings from your Playtest experience:  LINK 

  • Using this questionnaire will make it easier for our team to collect and review your feedback, reports and suggestions as we continue working on the game, so we would really appreciate you taking the time to fill it out!  

Enjoy your time on the island! We can't wait to hear what you think!  

Are you a content creator? You can apply to join our content creator program, run and managed by our publisher, Gameforge, here: LINK
