[p]Thank you to everyone who has participated in the playtest so far. For those of you who haven’t had time to try it out yet, good news - I’m extending it until Monday 22nd September, 2025! [/p][p]
To join:[/p]

1. [p]Head to the Steam Page and request playtest access.[/p]
2. [p]Once you have access, descend to Floor 10, find The Crown then retreat back up to Floor 1 to escape the dungeon and beat the game![/p]
3. [p]Please share your feedback on Discord.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Important notes:[/p]

• [p]Wishlist the game if you haven't already.[/p]
• [p]The playtest build only contains a part of the game but, unlike the demo, it’s much more representative of the full gameplay experience.[/p]
• [p]Compared to the demo (Floors 1-6, 4 character roles), the playtest includes 8 character roles to unlock and opens up the dungeon so that you can test the entire main experience (beating the game by escaping with The Crown).[/p]

[p][/p][p]All feedback is welcome but the focus of the playtest is difficulty. Specifically:[/p]

1. [p]Is the early game (Floors 1-5) too brutal or too easy?[/p]
2. [p]How many times can you escape? [/p]
3. [p]How long does it take to escape? [/p]
4. [p]What Character Role did you use the most?[/p]
5. [p]Are there any Character Roles that feel OP?[/p]

[p]
Thanks for taking part and I hope you enjoy your descent into the Dungeon of Dread![/p]
