Before the full release of our updates, we utilize Patreon and, sometimes, Public betas to ensure we are releasing the best build we can. To participate in a Patreon beta for the game you will need to use Steam and have access to the Patreon Portal.

Accessing this type of beta requires a current pledge to our Patreon, the default amount required is $25, however, this can be lowered as the beta progresses.

1. Sign in to our Patreon Portal and go to the “Home” tab. From there if you are eligible you can claim your CD Key.
2. Redeem your key in your steam client.
3. Play the game and select “Play private beta on windows”
4. Enjoy!

Please see the short GIFS below showing you how to play a Patreon Beta.
