Hi Everybody

(insert image of Dr Nick Riviera )

We’ve made a small but exciting change in our plans. Instead of updating the Open Playtest like we originally announced, we’ve decided to temporarily retire the playtest and launch a limited-time demo instead!

This demo will be available during Steam Scream 4 Fest (Oct 28 – Nov 4), The Shop Keepers Event (Nov 2 – Nov 16), and the DevGAMM Awards Celebration (Nov 4 – Nov 10).

We feel this latest build captures the heart of what Midwest 90 is all about — a mix of tension, survival, and good old-fashioned cooking under pressure. Having more players try it through these events is the best way for us to gather feedback and keep improving.

This isn’t our final demo though, a more comprehensive one is planned down the road with a ton of new content.

But for now, we believe in this demo, and we truly hope you enjoy your time in Rapid City.
