Steam Playtest DeadLock

[One's Hope]

Hi, wanted to ask something about steam playtests and I think this is the place to do so, today I received an invite to be a playtest of the game DeadLock by steam notifications, it's safe to accept that request or should I reject it?

I ask because I wonder what game it's DeadLock at all (don't know which game it's and never before received a notification like that), I found two games on the steam store with the same name but then when I search on google and enter the first link (a reddit one), it seems that people are talking about a completly diferent game, so I wonder what should I do or what game type it's...

Was it sent from Valve?

Or was it sent from a random person on your friends list?

Or was it some random game developer no one has ever heard of?

ex... This is not from Valve...

Hmmm, I assume it's valve since it's from steam notifications and it doesn't say / show any friend name or developer in the message

The notification just says: "You have been invited to join the Steam Playtest for Deadlock!"
Accept or Reject

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

Sure. Accept it.

The way the name is spelled, not all caps, is a dead giveaway.

I see, then I will accept it and give it a try, thanks for answering, was my first time receiving such notification and was not sure what to do or to think it's some kind of scam xd

Playtest notifications aren't malicious. But knowing which game it was for since there are more than 1 with the same name is always best to ask.

Then I will keep it in mind for the future, thanks for answering and the help, take an award as an thank you token

It's the really sus one with no icon, and doesn't link to the store. Are we sure this is a safe game? Here's the exact link to the one I got invited to https://steamdb.info/app/1422450/

That's Valve's playtest.

Also, the engine is a huge giveaway. https://steamdb.info/tech/Engine/Source2/

Oh okay, thank you for clarifying it for me. I was worried I got some kind of scam or something.
