Get ready for the 2nd Alpha Test


Hello! This is Nimble Neuron.
Did you all survive the 1st alpha test?
Lumia Island is ready to invite you once again!
Have you read all the news that the GMs gave you?
Your feedback has led to many changes in Lumia Island for the test subjects.

Today we will provide more details concerning the 2nd alpha test.

[2nd Alpha Test Schedule Plan]


The second alpha test will open 3 times for 4 hours. Each time it opens it will use a different server: Europe server, Tokyo server or North America server.

Here is the time schedule for each server:

  • Europe server (the date and time schedule are based on the UTC/GMT)
    Date: 2019/08/10 (UTC/GMT)
    Time: 11am - 3pm (UTC/GMT)
  • Please check the exact time for your location
    (for example, since London is GMT+1, the test will be from 12am to 4pm, etc.)

  • Tokyo server (the date and time schedule are based on KST and JST)
    Date: 2019/08/10 (KST/JST)
    Time: 3pm - 7pm (KST/JST)

  • North America Server (the date and time schedule are based on PDT and EDT)

  • Please note that the NA server date (based on PDT/EDT time zone) is August 9th!

※You will be able to play even if the area you are in does not match the opened server. However, there can be some network delay issues.

There will be a 1-hour break between each server. When the servers are closed, we invite you to come to our Discord Server to share your opinion on the game before diving in again!

Am I in the right place...?

Today we will go back with a bit more details on something we talked about last time: the background.


Hello, this is GM_John Doe.
In the latest news, we talked about the improved skill guide that will appear in the next alpha test.
If you didn't read it yet, you can check it by clicking on this link!

We already told you that there would be a lot of changes in the background during the next alpha test.
For today's news, we want to show you a bit more about how it will change.

During the preparation time for this second alpha test, a lot of the work was focused on improving the background's texture quality.

Like this plain wall somewhere in the background.

That was changed to look like this.

Thanks to changes like this one, the background for the next alpha test will have a bit more depth compared to the previous version.

That's it for today's news! We will come back with more next time.
Please everyone, 'survive' until then!

Let there be glory to the pawns who reached the end of despair!

Increase your accuracy!



Hello, this is GM_John Doe.
In the latest news, we talked about the wild animals that you will be able to encounter in the next alpha test.
If you didn't read it yet, you can check it by clicking on this link!

Today we want to talk a bit about the skill guides.


Instead of explaining it to you with words, it might be better to show it to you.
Should we take a look at the screenshots?

This is the skill guide that was used during the 1st alpha test.


And this is the skill guide that you will be able to see in the 2nd alpha test!


BS:ER is set in modern times.
Concerning the spatial background, as there are a lot of familiar places in the game, we are planning to change the skill guides accordingly, making it fit a bit more with the rest.

That's it for today's news! We will come back with more next time.
Please everyone, 'survive' until then!

Let there be glory to the pawns who reach the end of despair!

Why is this wolf coming from here? (You must not die)

[Aya Must Die?]

Today's news is about the wild animals that you will encounter during the 2nd alpha test.


Hello, this is GM_John Doe.
In the latest news, we talked about the information system for the number of days that passed, which will be added to the next alpha test.
If you didn't read it yet, you can check it by clicking on this link!

In our previous announcement, we talked a bit about how with the day and night feature, wild animals would be able to attack first.
Fortunately, as their moving speed has been decreased, you will be able to just run away if you want to avoid them.

However, since your field of vision is narrowed during the night you have to be extra careful not to be chased by any wolves or bears!


And we also have good news! The range of rewards you can get for hunting wild animals is expanding.
You will get more experience and you will also be able to receive more items. It is especially true for leather and meat, which you will be able to get only from hunting.

The most important thing in all of this is the addition of the "hunting" mastery.
As the hunting mastery improves, your ability to dodge wild animals improves as well, allowing you to hunt even faster.
Are you considering making strategies centered around the hunt of wild animals now?

That's it for today's news! We will come back with more next time.
Please everyone, 'survive' until then!

Let there be glory to the pawns who reach the end of despair!
