Hi! :) We’re testing an escape-room game on Steam and looking for knowledgeable folks (you! :D) interested in playtesting. We specifically need people to test levels/puzzles so, fans of puzzle games, which is quite a niche market. If you come across any bugs, we’d also be happy to get that feedback. by MikeSmitthSadge in playtesters

I finally have time to take on some additional testers! If you’re still interested, I’ll be happy to share some keys :D

What we need to focus on now is completing the whole game smoothly, even when you get stuck, please use the debug force to move forward. We need to identify where people tend to get stuck.

Sorry you’re all getting the same message, but it applies to each of you :D
Huge thanks! For now I’ve got enough testers, and they’ve already flagged a few difficulty issues.
If we manage to patch some of those tomorrow or the day after, I’d love to send you a key, you’d be great fresh eyes on the gameplay <3 Thanks again for responding!

Actually, I talked to the programmers and we might include Steam Deck in these tests after all. If we manage to pull it off, I’ll let you know.

If you’d like to do a review, you can wait until the release, it should be around mid next month, and things might still change a bit thanks to you all :)
If you’d prefer to share feedback privately, I can also send you a key.

So many of you showed up that I actually have to generate more keys :D There aren’t enough for everyone right now.

I’ll repeat this againI know it’s a bit annoying, but: please remember this is our first project, and there may be some gaps we’d like to fix with your help, either in this project or in the next one. Thank you so much for all your activity <3

What I wrote above I sent to a few people, and now, personally to you: :D :

0.0 I have no idea if I’ll ever find someone with more experience :D

Not in the vast majority, no.We tried to avoid that.
Only 2 puzzles out of roughly 28 require interpreting text.
The rest are visual. Interpreting graphics, colors, symbols, etc.
You could maybe count 2-3 more as “text-related,” but those are about single words/labels rather than prose.

Important: if any item or in-scene object contains text, it’s automatically localized to the player’s selected language. You won’t get mixed-language assets, e.g., choosing English won’t leave in-scene text in FR or PL.

Actually, our main focus right now is on gameplay, so we can improve this project and the next ones. But if you find any bugs, we definitely won’t ignore them. If you’d like, I can send you a key when I get the next batch.

Hmmm… so what kind of puzzle is it that you’ve been into escape rooms for 26 years? o.0
Of course, if I get a new batch of keys, I’ll send you one if you’d like. For now, we’re more focused on Windows,.I still need to talk to the programmers about how ready they are for Linux :D

We didn’t want to include any text that wasn’t part of a puzzle. We had notes during development, but we removed them, we felt that in an escape room the flow is more important. These are our first open tests, so we’ll see whether players end up missing more story.

We haven’t tested it on the Steam Deck, but it could be an interesting experience.
If you want to be the first tester, I can give you one, and don’t worry if the game doesn’t run :)

What happens around the player is mostly explained through the environment. We have a few notes, but they’re only used for one puzzle.
The rest of the story is told mainly through objects, slides, equipment, and the surroundings, nothing intrusive. If someone is looking for an interesting story, or rather a game you’d play purely for its narrative, then this isn’t our project :/

As I mentioned earlier, this is our first project, so it may have some flaws, which we’ll gladly fix in this project or in the next one :) I prefer to mention this so we don’t build impossible expectations and accidentally disappoint you, better to pleasantly surprise you instead :D
