Lightphobe Playtest
The developer of Lightphobe will also be in-game to answer any questions you may have while playing!
Request access now to receive an email notification for when the playtest goes live on September 3. An exact time for when the playtest goes live has not been decided.
Playtest Info
Access to the playtest will be given in batches as spots are made available (access is not guaranteed). Anyone is welcome to participate, however priority will be given to those who have joined our Discord.
A dedicated server instance located in Chicago will be made available for the playtest (max capacity of 16 players), courtesy of 4Netplayers.
Lightphobe currently doesn't have a playerbase, and so it may be necessary to join the Lightphobe Discord to find others to playtest with in multiplayer.
