This is not a Steam playtest version, which may be released separately on Steam before the demo.

If you're a true tester and want to participate in the demo production, join me on Discord. The files are located in a channel accessible only to official testers and supporters of the project, but you can ask me (@☵ HIRAETH game) and I'll add you a role.

This is not a version for gaming, rather for work - Training and Nesoi have many limitations, locks and disabled functionalities.

Join DIscord

For everyone else, I encourage you to wait for the official Steam version or the demo, which is only 12 days away.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3803020/Hiraeth_Demo/Best regards,
