Beta-tester slots
I have about 3 open beta-tester slots for CT:OS! If you:
- Are interested in giving the full game a thorough play-through, particularly the later chapters
- Are prepared to try out different branches/routes
- Want to provide detailed thoughts, feedback, and suggestions (e.g. continuity, various moments that could be improved etc.) (preferably not just bugs/typos)
- And would be available to do all of the above in the next week or so (in preparation for the update)
Do reach out to me either by Tumblr DM or by email (allieebobo@gmail.com), I would be very grateful for all the help I can get!
P.S. If you have a bug/feature that you desperately want to be implemented that I havenāt gotten around to yet, feel free to submit an ask/drop me a DM and Iāll consider doing so in this update! Iām also combing through previous asks to make sure I catch some of the stuff, but apologize in advance if I donāt make it to something youāve pointed out previously!
Allie
