Hey everyone! ːpraisesunː

We’re back with a fresh update for our playtesting build, and it’s been awesome seeing all the wild tracks you’ve been creating so far. Huge thanks to everyone who’s been testing, experimenting, and sharing feedback — your input is shaping the future of Ten Second Mixtape!

We’ve got a bunch of bigger features in the works based on your suggestions, but since our main gigs have been keeping us busy, those will take a little longer to land. In the meantime, we’ve cooked up something fun:

We’ve added a ton of new instruments and sound effects for you to experiment with. We’re especially curious to see which ones you end up using the most (and which get ignored 😅). Your choices will help us decide what kinds of sounds and styles to expand on next!

⚠️ Note: None of these have their final art yet — you’ll see temporary icons for now.

⚠️ Note: Because these sounds are for testing purposes some of them might get retired as development continues. In that case any tracks made with those sounds will likely remain but get replaced with another instrument.

Here’s the full list of what’s new in the latest test build (available in our Discord):

🎵 New Instruments & Sounds:

Xylophone • Vibraphone • Boys Choir • Matsusne Hiku • Acid Bass • Slap Bass • Chiptune • Timpani • Accordion • Whistling • Orchestra Hit • Koto • String Section • Clav • Tuba • Flute • Clarinet • Church Organ • Electric Piano • Jazz Kit • 808 • Drum and Bass Kit • Air Horn • Banjo • Harp • Bird • Church Bell • Jaw Harp • Eastern Kit • Indian Kit • Steel Drums • Djent Guitar • Music Box • Sitar • Dial Tones • Record Scratchin’ • Wine Glasses • Sad Ghost • Broken Toy • Throat Singer • Cellotron • Old Movie Violins • 80s Synth Keys • Aerobics VHS Drums

That’s a lot of noise. We can’t wait to hear what kind of beautiful chaos you come up with.

If you’d like to get early access to all this and join the feedback loop, hop into our Discord

— we’d love to have you there!

Keep rockin’ 🎸

布局预设可以记录宝石了

The fog has shifted.

As part of our Steam Scream Fest participation, we’ve made the decision to transition The Bornless from its public demo to a Playtest build. This change allows us to take greater control of our Halloween campaign, gather more targeted feedback, and reward our most dedicated Seekers directly.

This means access will now be handled through the Playtest system - you’ll need a key to enter the ritual.

1️⃣ Request a key through our Discord community.

2️⃣ Once you have your key, launch The Bornless Playtest through your Steam Library

3️⃣ Continue your fight for survival on Farmouth Island

This strategic shift ensures we can better coordinate updates, events, and rewards during the Halloween period.

We want to thank everyone who’s taken part so far - your clips, your feedback, and your screams have been incredible. We're proud to be a part of Scream Fest, and we’re just getting started.

If you haven’t yet entered the ritual, now is the perfect time. Claim your key, light the incense, and prepare to face what lurks in the fog. Request your Playtest key now.

The island awaits, Seeker.

Remember, the playtest will be available from now → November 3rd!

Want to experience The Bornless in its purest form but don’t have a buddy to play with?

No problem. Simply put a call out in our Discord! Find your duo partner, make a new friend, and complete the ritual knowing you have someone watching your back…

Worried about getting lost on Farmouth Island? We got you.

If you’re new to the game and looking for someone to help you through your first few matches, you can join the Discord server and request a Shepherd to guide you through the ritual at your pace. These are experienced players of The Bornless who’ve volunteered to perform this role.

A reminder that the demo has been translated into the following languages:

Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Polish, Serbian, Spanish, and Turkish—alongside the native English support.

If you encounter any issues, or would like to request additional localization support, please reach out to us on Discord.

Hi, I know no one really cares about this, but hehe, since I can do it, I don’t see why not.

I’m a bit stuck, but that doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything. I’m moving slowly but surely, after all.

Besides, sleeping is free and dreaming too, and that’s where the thinking being does its thinking.

I know this is stupid and unnecessary, but it makes me feel something.

And that’s it — the end of the news that isn’t really news and only exists because it makes me happy.

• Fixed issue with journal causing crash if you attempt to open it immediately after loading into a new room.

Jump on your Cyber Cycle & grab your Data Disc - CYBERDRIFTER is now 20% off for 1 week on Steam!

Get access to the newly added major content update!

[carousel autoadvance="true"][/carousel]

A virus has been unleashed that threatens global communications!

Military tech specialists who enter systems in Virtual Reality are called in to battle the virus in a simulated world.

They are the CYBERDRIFTERS

Enter Cyberspace in Virtual Reality and battle your way through a virtualized world armed with your Data-Disc and Cyber-Cycle!

FYI - When Cyberdrifter was originally released into EA in 2017 it was as an arcade shooter.

This content is now 1 of 3 arcade games & has been massively updated.

I had a grander vision so made a complete overhaul with disc throwing gameplay and Cybercycle riding into a "main mission."

Early reviews before Oct 2025 won't reflect this.
