In case you experience pink/missing shaders, crashes or other reoccurring issues, please report it and let us know on Steam, Discord or on our Social Media channels.

Players participating in our test will receive 5 Blood Bonds for every game played, up to a total of 100 Blood Bonds(20 games played).

Happy Test Hunting!
