Hello Kunuto,
I really liked the look of Katharsis, and wanted to see if you’d be interested in a small playtest partnered with GameUserResearch. This would be completely free, and we'd collect real gameplay data, feedback, and recorded footage/screenshots/surveys to help refine the experience.
A key focus would be how well players understand the game’s mechanics, whether everything is intuitive, and what could be improved to make the experience clearer and smoother. We’d also analyze engagement, difficulty balance, and overall UX to see if anything could be refined. Additionally, do you have any other games in development that might benefit from structured user testing?
I’d love to help provide early feedback and insights that could shape the game’s direction. Let me know if this sounds useful, I’d be happy to discuss it further!
I recently just completed a playtest if you would like an example!
This game is so good wtf?!
