Nope
No, the game will be updated massively after the playtest, so progress will not be retained for future playtests / demos / betas / the full game.
For those of you who have taken part in previous playtests, we highly recommend that you delete your old saved games, as continuing from them can cause issues and unexpected bugs.
In Steam, before you launch the game go to Library → right-click DREADMOOR → Manage → Browse local files.
Open the Dreadmoor folder.
Find the folder Saved and delete it completely.
Launch DREADMOOR and start a new game.
The playtest will be available in English only.
When you end your play session, your default web browser will automatically open our feedback form. That's where you can share your thoughts and help us improve the game with your valuable feedback.
The playtest is exclusively for PC-Windows.
