  • Gameplay
addedThe upcoming alpha will introduce new character visuals , a new enemy type , it will allow you to play with the new skill system, including a bunch of new skills , and take a brief look at the basics of the stress/wounds system . You will be able to play two missions . They will both be of the same type (getting to the supply crate). Fear not: I do plan adding more mission types to the game. It is just this version of playtests is not focused on that.
