You're invited to the Eternal Echoes beta!
Want to try out the new (free!) Moon Hunters expansion coming out in a couple of weeks?
You can! It's slightly dangerous, but for the intrepid among you... take a deep breath...
Ready? If you own Moon Hunters, and are eager to see the content no matter the costs, follow these steps:
We don't recommend switching back and forth between Eternal Echoes and 'vanilla' Moon Hunters, but you technically can do it. When you run the beta for the first time, it will create a backup folder with your current savefiles and progress files. This folder will also be cloud-saved automatically. The folder is called backup_ and is located in your cloud-save folder (in Windows usually it's: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\MoonHunters\SaveData). Keep this backup folder safe.
To restore the state of the game to when the backup was done, follow these steps:
After doing this your savefiles are restored to a pre-expansion state.
Thanks in advance, you brave beta hunters!
