addedNightwater's first public Steam Playtest is here! The focus of this test is to validate the core loop and the overall pacing. To check how satisfying it feels to gather resources, craft items, unlock new tools and buildings, and take the first real steps into automation as the world opens up. In this build, you will be able to explore the first two biomes and try the first minigame "Dark Thicket" to see how it connects to the main progression. There are roughly 60–90 minutes of content to play through to the end of what is currently available and around four hours in total if you want to explore everything the playtest offers in depth. The playtest will end on 09.03.2026 - 18:00 CET.
