Last chance to play the playtest!

Thankyou to everyone who has been enjoying the Enter the Chronosphere playtest (especially those giving feedback in the discord!)

We'll be concluding our current open playtest on Monday 14th, next week.

We're going to be focused on getting the game ready for a new demo in the coming months, working on progression, narrative, adding more content and polishing some of the rougher edges from the playtest.

If you want to stay up to date with development updates, you can join the Discord or follow us on Steam for news!

Best wishes,
