We know this may sound disappointing to some of you, but there’s nothing we can do right now unless the issue is resolved.
changedThe game is just sitting on Steam and is waiting for us to press a button, and we were really excited to do it, but it didn’t work. No way we could have foreseen this, as we never had any issues prior to this one. We released the closed alpha back in the day, and there were no problems.
changedAlso, the sign-up button stays active, so if you haven’t requested access yet, feel free to do so to not miss the time when the playtest releases finally.
fixedWe’ll share another update on the current situation sometime next week and hopefully give more clarity on when this can be resolved. Meanwhile, happy holidays to everyone who’s celebrating Easter!

We’re grateful to all of you who showed their interest in our game, and especially those who expressed their support to us in the situation that happened.

As soon as we have any news, we will let all of you know!

Thank you all again for your patience. We really appreciate it! We wanted to let you know that we’re still working on resolving the issue with Steam release permissions, so please don’t expect the playtest to start within the next few days.

We’ll share another update on the current situation sometime next week and hopefully give more clarity on when this can be resolved. Meanwhile, happy holidays to everyone who’s celebrating Easter!
