[h3][b]What is the difference with the Closed Alpha?[/b][/h3]
We have taken into account player feedback to improve combat, improve tutorial on some key gameplay concept and change some part of the story.
The Closed Alpha also helped us improve the other three chapters for us to focus on the right features.

[h3][b]When will the game release?[/b][/h3]
We are planning a release on Q3 2024. We moved back the release date by a quarter from our first announcement last year. We took that decision after taking into account player feedback provided during the december Closed Alpha, to be able to provide the best possible game experience to you all!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
[h3][b]Will I be able to keep my progress at launch?[/b][/h3]
The Demo is an early and short version of our game and subjected to change and improvement. Our goal is to gather feedback to eventually create the best possible version of the game. Before the full release, chapter 1 will have changed, meaning that, unfortunately, your progress will not be carried over.

[h3][b]Is playing on gamepad still mandatory?[/b][/h3]
Gamepad is recommended to play the demo. Keyboard is usable but not customizable. This is why we recommend playing with a gamepad.
