It’s close! We’re nearly ready to lift the lid on the second Superstring game, which we've teased and hinted at more than a little over the past year. After navigating some busy months, I'm excited to say: an early form of the game is ready to play.
We’re at that all important stage where watching people play, and seeing how they interact with the game first-hand is crucial for the ongoing development.
And so we’re throwing open the doors to some playtests with our nearest and dearest. Superstring Patrons are now able to book playtest slots to check out the game ahead of its wider reveal and release.
Notes, comments and any other feedback from the session will be rolled into the ongoing development, and you'll have had a direct impact on the game.
Fancy it?
Book your playtest through Patreon.

PLAYTEST FAQ
HANG ON. WHAT THE HECK IS PROJECT AMICUS?
Project Amicus (codename) is a narrative game with a bold AI twist. It’s unrelated to our first game, Headspun, but builds on several of the themes and ideas. There'll be more details revealed about the game in due course...
WHAT DOES THE PLAYTEST INVOLVE?
The session will last less than an hour, and involves playing through the prologue of the game. You will be sent a link to access the game and a Zoom invite. If you're happy and able, you'll share your screen so we can watch you interact with the game, and observe how you play. We can have a bit of a chin-wag along the way, too.
WHEN ARE THE PLAYTEST SLOTS?
We currently have 8 slots all on the week of Nov 23rd.
WILL THERE BE BUGS?
Probably! The game has had a limited number of players and little QA so far, so you could well uncover an issue we've not found or thought of yet. But that's half the fun.
CAN I TALK ABOUT / STREAM / SHARE VIDEOS OF MY PLAYTEST?
Afraid not, no. The game is yet to be announced, and you'll be in the super-secret-club of early players ahead of the full reveal. We'd appreciate your discretion on this one in the short term.
WHEN IS THE GAME BEING ANNOUNCED?
Really soon! More to share on this before long…
I'M KEEN, BUT I CAN'T MAKE ANY OF THE AVAILABLE SLOTS :(
There will be a second wave of playtests before long, but please let us know when might suit you, and perhaps we can work something out.
I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS!
Cool! Drop us a message on here or Discord and we can chat.
