Hey everyone!In 3 days, we've received 20,000 playtest sign-ups. A huge thank you to all of you!❤️Because of the number of requests for now, we're thinking about closing playtest sign-ups for now (but not forever). Managing such a number of participants is going to be a big challenge for our team, and we want to make sure we can run the playtest smoothly.Our plan is to launch the first playtest as soon as Steam gives us the green light, which should be around July 24–25. We can't wait to see you in the playtest and, most importantly, hear your feedback.See you soon! 🙃
