[3/9] We asked each player to fill out the feedback form after they played enough (usually at least 1 run, some people did more - switching the class and trying again).

What was really cool is that 95% of those who played did fill the form!

Thanks to everyone who did! 🩷

[2/9] We brought an early alpha build - just singleplayer, no co-op as we didn't test it enough in-house yet.

Each session: 10-15 minutes of pure extraction roguelike chaos. 3 playable classes.

Our cute corner was amazing! Thanks @gamecityhamburg.bsky.social for organizing and taking us aboard!
