Thanks for checking it out! 🙌
Like to play it early? Good news... Looking for Playtesters!
I’m actively recruiting four playtesters to help refine and polish the game as it enters the final stages of development, especially the later game content. The current build has around 15 hours of content based on playtests so far, and I’d love to get feedback from players in this community specifically who are familiar with the Metroidvania genre.
🔹 What’s involved? Play through the game in its current state and provide feedback
🔹 Priority for: Players willing to record and narrate their playthroughs. Seeing the players experience and react to the game in real time is by far the most helpful form of testing. But will also consider players willing to provide written feedback asynchronously.
🔹 Interested? If you're interested in getting early access to the game and helping shape the final product, DM me and I can provide a Steam key!
