Schedule Overview
Player selection for the closed pre-alpha session begins on January 12. The test environment is restricted to PC-Windows on Steam and supports English text only. Participants must review an in-game non-disclosure agreement that prohibits distributing or sharing footage from the build. Any saved progress will not carry over to future tests or the full game.
Hardware Requirements
Because the pre-alpha build lacks performance optimization, system requirements are higher than typical release targets. Minimum specifications list an Intel Core i7-9750H processor, an RTX 2060 6GB graphics card, and 8 to 10 GB of RAM. Recommended hardware includes an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, 24 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia RTX 5080. Bug reporting is handled directly through an in-game button that connects to a feedback form.
Test Scope
Testers can explore the Swamp-Lake Region containing abandoned structures, anomalies, and a full day-night cycle. Boat handling allows players to control their fuel-powered vessel with weight, inertia, and natural shoreline interaction. Fishing mechanics include five distinct fish types alongside water retrieval using the hook system. Combat encounters introduce two water creatures featuring early behaviour, combat interactions, and trophy drops.
Additional Features
Crafting and trading systems allow players to collect world items, repair gear, and purchase equipment. A narrative questline provides notes, voice recordings, simple puzzles, and introductory cutscenes. Interface menus present the inventory, character screen, ship hold, trading, and crafting windows.
