The developer of Dark Souls-like Mortal Shell has opened the PC beta to all.
The game is available to download from the Epic Games Store, where it went into closed beta this week.
“We expected demand but nothing like this,” developer Cold Symmetry said in a tweet.
“We really didn’t want so many people to feel left out. We’re delighted to open the beta for everyone on PC, starting now.”
Cold Symmetry describes Mortal Shell as “an uncompromising soulslike experience through a compact, single-player game”. Expect a first playthrough to last between 15 and 20 hours.
The beta lets you possess two Mortal Shells: Harros and Tiel. It does not include spoilers (“we decided to keep the story a secret for just a little longer”), and to that end the developers have deliberately cordoned-off much of the open marshland of Fallgrim “to keep you focused”.
