CRETE is now migrated to Unreal Engine 5.6 and new narrative system started.
CRETE Playtest Ends Now. Thank you!
Hi everyone,
Weâre closing the playtest effective immediately, and what a wild ride one more time!
As in previous playtests, CRETE has been improved thanks to all your feedback, hundreds of live streams, thousands of players and a growing community of skilled DNA Hunters. We have seen playstyles that we could never imagine, and memorable moments when someone defeated a first Kremidi, a first Guardian, a first Hephasteus... and a first Brontes.
We began this playtest with one biome and one boss; weâre ending it with two biomes, two bosses, and 41 patches. For a twoâperson team, weâre pretty proud of that.
A heartfelt thankâyou as well to every new backer on Koâfi. Your support means the world to us and helps keep the project moving faster, more independently, and true to its original vision.
Whatâs next?
We plan to run two more public playtests this year, open to everyone, with no restrictions. The first will likely land in summer, the second in autumn. Potentially with a new Biome per playtest (+ Tons of other updates). We will announce a release date before the year ends. Keep an eye on Discord and our social channels for updates, or game media.
Can I keep playing now?
Yes, you can! Find more info on our website, where you can support us and buy the game now as an alpha. If you are not sure yet, better to wait for future playtests and see how things evolve. You can find more information on our Discord and ask any questions there.
Localisation
Full localisation into all advertised languages will arrive with versionâŻ1.0 (official launch). However, weâll start introducing translated elements sooner so backers can see progress. With just two people on the team, we need time to hire the right professionals and avoid reâwork, Thanks for your patience.
Controller support & splitâscreen
This year, weâre also targeting local coâop splitâscreen and full controller support.
Thatâs all for now. Iâm humbled by the incredible reception CRETE has receivedâespecially for a game where the first hour is mostly about dying.
As game director, Iâm making the game I want to play to oblivion. If you miss tough games where you own both your defeats and your victories, welcome aboard, because thatâs exactly our mission.
See you soon, DNAâŻHunters.

Introducing ROUNDS
While we will keep our tradition of doing public playtests every 2 to 4 months, we also want to improve our private playtests. We want to give everyone a chance to participate. It doesn't matter if you already have been in a CRETE playtest before or if you are new to this game.
ROUNDS will rotate 10 players every two weeks, so we make sure that the experience is fresh and the feedback is sharp.
We want all sorts of players, from curated CRETE players to newcomers, from potato machines to spaceships, from those who die playing Animal Crossing to those who can beat Dark Souls blindfolded.
You just need to fill this form here:
DEMO Available from the 10th to 20th of May
From the 10th to the 20th of May you can play the Demo of CRETE. This demo is based on our Alpha version and will be part of Steam's Endless Replayability Fest 2024.
CRETE - Public Playtest
