Dichotomy Beta Test
Closed beta testConfirmed by Elementa
The second closed beta: 15 characters (8 new), the male protagonist, horse racing and a reworked combat system, on Windows PC.
Dichotomy was a much larger test than Monotype. It doubled the roster, let players pick the male Detective for the first time and added more than forty hours of content.
Combat was rebuilt around dodging, parrying, Stamina and Stun, with an optional combat-assist system. The test was limited to Windows PC, had no purchases and wiped progress afterwards. The start date comes from the official press release; the end date and recruitment window from community coverage.
