Omg omg omg, what is is this, i'm feeling slightly interested!

Interesting, when does it start and end?

Perfect! I don't have any plans that weekend, how do I participate?

• Find some friends or play alone, you can play 1, 2, 3 or 4 players.
  
• Download the demo or get the early access version of FORCED HERE
  
• Start the game and complete at least one trial in the campaign, then you gain access to the survival arena (it’s a good idea to complete both the trials in the demo, as they will have valuable hints to get further in the survival arena).
  
• Then create a new game in survival arena mode and get the best possible survival time.
  Once you start to get the hang of it, you should begin streaming, as you can only claim a prize if your survival time is documented with a twitch video.
  
• Then once you’ve got your stream going, simply get the best survival time and claim the biggest honor in history :)
  
• Note: If you use mac or linux, you must start a twitch outside FORCED, see these solutions XSplit or Open Broadcaster Software - and in case you need more help, check thischeck this.
  
• Simple right? :)
  

Got it! Show me the swag!

Looks cool, but I’d like details on my swag?

More details to come in the coming days!
