Thank You

This Closed Alpha Test saw more interest and participation than anticipated, allowing us to gather a wide range of feedback from players.

Through the feedback shared by those who took part, we were able to assess the potential of the game’s atmosphere, visuals, and overall system design. At the same time, feedback consistently highlighted issues related to combat perception, situational clarity, and fatigue during repeated runs.

In addition, concerns and reports related to unauthorized programs continued to surface during the test period, leading us to progressively strengthen security measures and anti-cheat responses throughout the test. Some players also experienced technical issues such as game stability problems and crashes. These factors had a noticeable impact on the overall testing experience.

All feedback submitted by players is currently under internal review and analysis.

We are preparing to welcome you back to Coli Island in a more refined state. Thank you once again for the time, effort, and enthusiasm you shared during the test.
