First of all, thank you!

Thank you for your patience, your support, and the incredible interest you've shown in Satellite Odyssey: Jupiter. Seeing so many players wishlist the game, discuss the trailer, and request playtest access has been genuinely overwhelming for our small team.

Today, we're finally opening the doors to our very first public playtest!

Before you jump in, we'd like to set expectations

This is only the first stage of playtesting. Our goal right now is simple: to let you spend some time aboard our space station and experience the core atmosphere and gameplay loop of the game.

During this playtest, you'll be able to explore several locations, survive encounters with enemies, and get a taste of the world we're building.

However, this is not a demo and it's far from the final version of the game.

This build does not include:

The detective investigation system ❌ The map, crafting system, and weapon upgrades ❌ Story cutscenes and voice acting ❌ Many other planned mechanics and features

We're also planning major improvements to animations, combat feel, enemy behavior, visual polish, and many other aspects of the experience.

Right now, what matters most is understanding how players feel about the foundation of the game. We want to know whether the atmosphere, exploration, survival mechanics, and overall concept resonate with you.

Future playtest phases will include the detective mechanics, additional gameplay systems, and much more content.

And one more thing:

you're absolutely welcome to stream, record, and share your experience with the playtest!

We'd love to see your videos, screenshots, feedback, and reactions.

Thank you again for joining us on this journey.

If you enjoy your time aboard the station and would like to support the project, the best thing you can do is tell other people about the game, add it to your wishlist, and share your feedback with us.

See you on Europa 🚀
