addedInstead of closing our playtest last week, we are taking things one step further and opening it to a wider audience. Starting Thursday 19 December 2024 we'll be admitting 1,000 new players who have requested playtest access -- these people will receive emails that the playtest is open.
changedBut maybe you tried the playtest previously at some point? If you did then YOU TOO will have access to the playtest, you just won't receive an email. Steam is weird that way. The playtest will also be available to Discord community members who have access and/or who claim a key.
addedWe are going to leave this playtest open until Monday 6 January 2025 . Hopefully follks will have some time to test out the new build over the holidays.
changedThis is an early Pre-Alpha build, and you may experience bugs, crashes, or performance issues. It's a work in progress but we feel like there's a good experience in there and we hope you will get something out of it.
changedIf you playtested before look for the green Join The Signal Playtesting "PLAY NOW" button on our Steam page .
changedAnd if you don't get access or can't find the time to play, we absolutely promise there will be another playtest in early 2025. We hope everyone has fun and gets through the holiday season -- we'll see eveyone next year. And as always, please do join the conversation either here on Steam or through Discord -- we love hearing from players!

This is our gift to you! And all we ask in return is for you to complete our FEEDBACK FORM! Whether you played for 5 hours or rage quit afer 10 minutes -- we absolutely want to hear about your experience. It is extremely valuable feedback and truly will help us decide what to work on next.

This is an early Pre-Alpha build, and you may experience bugs, crashes, or performance issues. It's a work in progress but we feel like there's a good experience in there and we hope you will get something out of it.

Please note that this build has a Save System, so you don't need to complete the playthrough in one sitting. Since we will most likely be changing many more things between now and the next playtest/demo, your save will NOT carry over beyond this playtest.

Ways to play:

And if you don't get access or can't find the time to play, we absolutely promise there will be another playtest in early 2025. We hope everyone has fun and gets through the holiday season -- we'll see eveyone next year.
