What's in the KUTO Demo: One Era, Two Bosses, Free
The KUTO: The Lock of Time demo is free on Steam. Here is exactly what is in it: one era, a dozen locations, the core mechanics, two bosses, and what your PC needs.
We're running a closed playtest of KUTO: The Lock of Time. Press Request Access on the Steam page — we let people in in waves.
Hello!
We're getting a closed playtest of KUTO: The Lock of Time ready, and we're looking for people who want to play it and tell us how it went. One of the game's main mechanics is control over time. In a fight you decide yourself when and how to use the Time Key.
Press Request Access on the game's Steam page. We hand out access in waves, so that we can collect feedback and fix things between tests.
When your turn comes, Steam sends you a notification and the playtest shows up in your library as a separate game.
A small slice of the game: the first rooms, the fights, and the Time Key. Languages: Ukrainian and English.
The build is early, so something may be unclear, awkward, or simply broken. That is what the playtest is for.
After you play, write to us through the form on the site or on Discord.
No need for a long report. Even a couple of sentences about what you liked, what annoyed you, or where you got lost helps us a lot.
Thanks to everyone who joins.
