We can’t wait to see how you adapt to the new rules of the Spirit Realm. Your feedback during these playtests will help us fine-tune REBIRTH before its full release, so jump in, experiment, and let us know what you think on our Discord, Reddit, and the in-game form when exiting your playthrough! [/p][p]See you beyond the veil!
