[p]???? We’re happy to announce that the playtest for The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian is now officially live! ????[/p][p]When we opened playtest sign-ups, we received an overwhelming number of responses — we’re incredibly happy to see so much interest in the game. Your support truly means a lot to us.[/p][p]At the moment, we’ve already granted access to a randomly selected group of players who applied. If you’ve been invited to participate, you’ll receive a notification via the email linked to your Steam account. You can also check the status of your request at any time directly on the game’s Steam page. We’ll be granting additional access in waves, so be sure to keep an eye on your notifications.[/p][p]If you have access to the playtest, you’ll also see an “Invite a Friend” option. This allows you to invite one person from your Steam friends list to join the playtest as well (once they accept the invitation, they’ll also become a playtest participant). Please note that, according to Steam’s rules, you must have been friends for at least 30 days to send an invitation.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/45120422/5444f3b84dcad12ab97c6a2a9488755dd0d9550b.png"][/img][/p][p]The playtest is not secret or confidential — you won’t need to sign anything. You’re free to discuss the game, share impressions, and create content based on your experience during this event.[/p][p]The playtest includes the entire first chapter up to… well, we won’t spoil anything???? We also won’t be answering story-related questions: what exactly is happening, what motivates certain characters, or what lies behind their actions. We’d like you to explore these details on your own — and form your own interpretations, theories, and conclusions.[/p][p]For your convenience — and to avoid accidentally revealing story details to players who’d prefer to go in blind — we’ve created a dedicated public playtest discussion channel on our Discord server. Feel free to join![/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/45120422/5444f3b84dcad12ab97c6a2a9488755dd0d9550b.png"][/img][/p][p]The main goal of the playtest is to help you get familiar with the game and to gather your feedback on its core aspects and overall experience: what you like, what you don’t, and what you think could be improved.[/p][p]We’d be very grateful to everyone who takes part in the test — especially if you share your impressions via this form (the same survey is also available directly in the game). We’re eager to hear your thoughts and any suggestions you may have — they’ll help us make the game better by the time it launches.[/p][p]If you enjoyed what you saw in the playtest and would like to continue with the full version, don’t forget to wishlist the game so you won’t miss the release or future updates.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/45120422/5444f3b84dcad12ab97c6a2a9488755dd0d9550b.png"][/img][/p][p]We’d also like to remind you that our Kickstarter campaign will be launching very soon.
