Participant recruitment began the same day and runs until 14:00 JST on September 10. Applicants must fill out a roughly three-minute questionnaire, and selected participants will be notified by email. During the test, logging into the Steam version for a cumulative five days will earn rewards redeemable after the official launch: Red Crystal x180, Folded Gold Ticket x16,000, and Beginner Recognition Media x15. The Steam version shares the same game version, account data, and progress as other platforms, so no data will be deleted. In-game purchases will be available during the test. Hypergryph noted that Steam client quality is still being adjusted and that bugs or unstable online services may occur; feedback from the test will guide improvements. The game, a 3D real-time strategy RPG set on the satellite Talos-II, is currently free-to-play on PC via the official website and Epic Games Store, PS5, iOS, and Android.
