Looking for alpha testers for my Xenophon-inspired survival strategy game
Hi everyone,
A few days ago I posted about ANABASIS — THE LONG MARCH, my solo historical survival strategy game inspired by Xenophon’s Anabasis and the structure of Oregon Trail.
I’ve been pretty much devoured by this project for the last five months, and I’ve reached the point where I need eyes that are not mine anymore.
The game focuses on survival, logistics, morale, weather, terrain, and attrition rather than myth, fantasy, or hero combat. The idea is to make the retreat feel like a long, exhausting struggle to hold the army together and reach the sea.
I’m preparing a small closed alpha test. The build is still rough, so bugs, unclear UI, balance issues, unfinished text, and awkward moments are expected.
I’m looking for a few people willing to play around 30–60 minutes and then answer a short feedback form. The most useful feedback for me is not “good/bad,” but things like:
- I did not understand what this button did
- I did not understand why men were dying
- this part felt too slow
- this system felt interesting
- I wanted / did not want to continue pressing Next Turn
Signup form:
Thanks to anyone willing to give it a look. Even one short play session with honest notes would help a lot at this stage.
