Free Playtest: Starting Sunday, October 13

Want to try out Under the desert sun before it's released? Now's your chance! We're running free playtests on StartPlaying.games from October through December. That's right - free early access! Participants will receive the Player's Guide as a complimentary product with character art in development from Celestine Nox, a fantastic GM and artist!

Each play test is capped at 4 participants - and they are blocked for 4-6 hours. If you're not able to join the October 13th event, don't worry! You can join our November/December events for free as well! Your feedback will be incredibly helpful in polishing the final product in time for our Spring 2025 launch here on Itch!

Check out the event list below with registration links on StartPlaying.games - an account on SPG is required for access if you do not already have one.
