Friends, it's with great joy that I announce the launch of our Beta 1.7, the version of the game we've been working on offline for 10 months! Not only are we releasing Beta 1.7, but we're also already working on the first beta hotfix update to deliver a more stable and better game for you!
An OPEN PLAYTEST will be available to the public! There are only 50 spots available, so hurry up and request access on the Decomposition page! The Beta launch will be on October 25, 2025!
The game isn't complete and is a little far from being ready. However, my personal goal is to deliver a solid Beta, with plenty of content for the end player! Additionally, we've made some changes internally and decided to launch in early access, with at least 50% of the game finished. This represents at least 3 of the game's 9 chapters fully playable, totaling around 6 to 8 hours of gameplay, depending on the player, to deliver you solid content.
The Early Access launch is scheduled for December 25, 2025, in approximately two months!
But right now, it's important that you play the Beta so we can improve the current version and, consequently, the Early Access Beta version.
That's all, folks. I appreciate all the community's support with the launch of the Decomposition project! Thank you!
