On 7 June 2025: At Wholesome Direct 2025, the latest trailer for the game was shown, revealing that the closed alpha has started. The first stage of the testing process was helped by a questionnaire that received 3000 responses, which helped them to shape what the audience wanted to see.
The first phase is local co-op only, the focus is on puppy customization, controller support, and movement, and the goal is to ensure the basics feel great and technical stuff is bug-free.

Further testing periods are expected to follow the schedule below:

Phase 2 – In a few weeks

• Local co-op only

• Adds: enemies, puzzles, early story content

• Goal: test core interactions and early atmosphere

Phase 3 – Later one

• Local co-op only

• Adds: 30–50 minutes of full gameplay

• Goal: test a full early-game slice with story, exploration, and progression

More good news is that after Phase 3 wraps, we'll move into online co-op support and prepare a public demo, which we're aiming to launch around Halloween, alongside new content. ¹
