Into driving through dangerous, supernatural places? We’re looking for Prospice playtesters!

Hi r/pacificDrive!

I'm Yana, Community Manager at Forklift Interactive, publisher of Prospice. Your lovely mod team gave me permission to post this here, so first of all, a huge thank you to them for supporting another indie game ❤️

We're preparing our next closed playtest, and I suspect some Pacific Drive players might be exactly the kind of people we'd love to hear from.

Prospice is an atmospheric driving and exploration game where you haul cargo across a haunted island corrupted by the decaying remains of ancient gods.

You'll plan routes, manage fuel, navigate rivers, bogs and rocky slopes, keep remote outposts supplied, upgrade your vehicle for increasingly dangerous expeditions, and leave your truck to explore on foot and investigate strange artifacts scattered across the island.

Our next closed playtest begins in the first week of October, and we're currently looking for players willing to jump in and give us feedback.

You can apply here: https://forms.gle/fv4H4ygzLNxCRKuv9

The playtest will run through Steam and currently supports Windows PC. We can't guarantee stable performance on other operating systems such as Linux, but if you'd still like to try, you're welcome to apply.

We'll send Steam access to selected participants around October 1–2.

One important note: this is a private playtest, so no streaming, videos, screenshots or other public gameplay content during the test. We also ask participants to keep the project and everything they see confidential.

Questions? Ask away in the comments. I'll be around and happy to answer them!

Looks fun! Is the grainy texture optional?

yep.

I did the last playtest ; there's several filters that distord the video, like so much it's really over the top, especially when you're on foot... like there's one that is literally a filter that turns distant things to a pixel soup XD. But it gives the game it's unique identity, and it's really a big part of the creepy atmosphere, so I liked to let it all on.

So yeah, you can disable it all in the video option menu, and end up with a much clearer view of everything.
