Alien HQ requires your assistance! The Abduction Update is about to materialize its beta version, which needs thorough testing. Naturally, Alien HQ has put the Quality Assurance department on this, but nothing is more valuable than hearing what the best of the best (= you) have to say! This means that this is your chance to preview and shape the future of alien research on Earth!

What is playtesting?

As playtesters, you will soon gain access to an early version of the update that includes new features and improvements. In short: you’ll get an exclusive preview of what’s coming next!

During playtest sessions, it is possible that you run into design issues, balance bugs, or gameplay inconsistencies which were not spotted or addressed at that point.

Your extraterrestrial assignment is simple:

  • Play the beta version and share your first impression.

  • Let us know what you think: what is fun, confusing, or too chaotic even for alien standards?

  • Report bugs with a few details and screen recordings to help us troubleshoot more quickly.

Simultaneously, Alien HQ is running its own in-depth tests that mainly focus on the data and tech side of things.

How can I join the playtest?

Everyone is welcome to playtest. To join the playtest and get more information, beam up to our official Cybernetic Walrus Games Discord. All details, instructions, and more will be shared there.

Thank you for helping us make next update even better!

We’re all gooped up and can’t wait to hear from you,

Alien HQ

Aka the Cybernetic Walrus Team
