Countdown to Early Access

May 19

PAX was amazing!

Thank you to everyone who showed up to our booth and tried the game, especially those who gave us feedback. You have no idea how valuable it is to our team to get your reactions and thoughts! It was so exciting to be able to watch those reactions live, and in person, and the energy during PAX was nothing short of electric from start to finish.

What We Learned at PAX

We received a ton of feedback from community members at PAX and the overwhelming response to the game has been enthusiastic and positive. From our feedback forms and conversations we gleaned insights regarding things we can focus on for Early Access, and beyond, including feedback on mechanics, conversation flow, and understanding how player input impacts the results of each round.

We’re happy to say that the team have addressed and fixed the major bugs that popped up throughout the week of PAX, and are working on improvements based on the above feedback!

Road to Early Access – What’s Coming in the Next 10 Days

Early Access is only the beginning, and more than ever, feedback and refinement are crucial to the long-term success of our game.

As we approach release the devteam are focused on testing, bugfixing cross-platform play/support, and we’re using your feedback to make Day One as smooth as possible.

Demo inactive?

Tried starting the game with a friend of mine but after getting into a lobby we're just kind of staring at this character on the screen. Is the AI system not active on the demo?

Few questions for the dev!

Hello there, first off, thanks for this game premise! With the day and age of criticism toward ai, I believe this game utilizes it quite well (on paper thus far) without really having issue of theft. I already bought a copy of this game for me and my friend, so that leads me to ask... The tokens we get with the base game for 30-40 hrs of gameplay is definitley enticing, have you decided pricing going for further tokens? Secondly, are there options to adjust the timer for responding back to the AI? I am a...
