Test conditions

The game is in the beta-test mode and in the most basic English localization, so there are very important conditions that you need to accept before you send your request:

1. English is your native language or you are very good at it or it’s a part of your profession – you are an editor, journalist, writer, etc.

2. The game has bugs, bad texts and this is normal thing. We had together polish everything – for example, indicate a bad text and suggest a proper fix.

3. While you testing, very important to carefully read everything and, when necessary, to write proper suggestions. If you are willing to help with testing, but not ready to follow all of the following instructions, you'd better wait for the release of the full game.

4. During testing, you should not just play the game: while playing you must record the video (once game screen, without the voice), look for bugs and write about found bugs and text suggestion in TXT-document. All comments in txt-document must be written a specific format (detailed instructions see below).

5. You agree that you will not distribute the game or video and any other material or information which you receive at the time of testing, to any third parties or persons. Even to your friend, if he is not a tester. While testing, the game has non-final quality and we don't want to spoil the impression of the other people.
