Beta closed

I let the beta run way over (for weeks instead of days) because I was busy with my Kickstarter. With the campaign complete, I'm turning the beta off. Thanks to everyone who played, especially those who sent feedback and/or transcripts. The game will return to Steam (in a long time!) in its completely developed form. -Wade

Beta working again

Yep, my recent fiddling behind-the-scenes seems to have fixed the problem. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, and will be running the beta an extra day and a half at least to make up for the time lost.

Join the Andromeda Acolytes beta: Pick a team and play for prizes on the Discord

Andromeda Acolytes is launching on Kickstarter on August 3 but first it's going to an exclusive Steam beta test from July 30 to August 2. To sign up for the beta, all you have to do is join the Andromeda Acolytes Discord and pick a team MC, Remotes or Phadra. Play for Steam game prizes across three weeks of skill and chance-based adventuring competitions in the lead-up. Everyone who gets involved on Discord will get a Steam key to the four-day beta when it's time. I hope to see you there. -Wade

Andromeda Acolytes Kickstarter and Closed Beta Test pre-announcement

Greetings, programs! (For you young folk, that's a TRON reference.) KICKSTARTER INFO Andromeda Acolytes will be going to Kickstarter around July or August 2022. Get ready for that right now by pressing the NOTIFY ME button on the Kickstarter pre-launch page!: [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wadeclarke/andromeda-acolytes-a-state-of-the-art-sci-fi-text-adventure]https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wadeclarke/andromeda-acolytes-a-state-of-the-art-sci-fi-text-adventure STEAM BETA TEST and STEAM COMMUNITY HUB and DISCORD INFO

As soon as I start soliciting testers for the Steam closed beta test of chapter 1 (June or July of 2022) I will announce it here with all the necessary links and information.
An Andromeda Acolytes Discord server is in the wings. When it goes public, it's going to be where the main social action is. Obviously I will maintain this hub, too, but I will primarily be directing people to the Discord.

Thanks. And hit that WISHLIST button on my main Steam page. I hear it helps. -Wade

In the Andromeda galaxy, humanity doesn't know why it is on the planet Monarch or how it got there. When an underwater accident in Monarch Harbour awakens a strange power, four very different women are drawn into each other's orbit, and into a race towards the mysteries of Monarch's origins.

You play all four heroines in this big multi-chapter sci-fi text adventure set in a young galactic colony still discovering its identities. Type your commands and read what happens next as you negotiate underwater mechs, AIs, abandoned cities, crime, friendship, suspense, horror, humour, an art exhibition, virtual realities and a tank. This is a prose gaming experience offering all the inner-world power of a novel plus the fine-grained puzzle and world engagement of gaming. The only graphics are in the automap!

Puzzles are woven throughout the game, starting out light but becoming more complex as the story evolves. You'll be doing different things in different locations in every chapter as you help the characters pursue their goals, some noble and some the opposite. You'll explore, deal with friends and enemies, overcome physical and mental obstacles, fight, flee, and pursue mysteries.

Psychology drives the narration for each character in a first-person style planting you firmly in their mindset. What is it like to experience character A through B's eyes? B through A's eyes? To oppose another character you're also playing in the same game? To experience a new world from multiple perspectives?

Andromeda Acolytes seeks to exploit all the possibilities of the text adventure medium to create a thrilling adult narrative and gaming experience unique to the medium.
