We hope you’re all doing awesome! This month, we’re excited to share a Work-in-Progress preview of the Face Class with our backers. Be sure to check it out at the bottom of this update! As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts so join us on Discord, where backers get access to a special discussion section.

We’ve completed the Face Class, a cornerstone for players who lead with charm, cunning, and connections. Whether you're negotiating back-alley deals or charming your way into danger, this class is all about manipulation and social mastery.

We’re now officially ready to begin playtesting! If you’d like to take part, please hop into our Discord and let us know. External playtesting will begin shortly, and your early feedback will help shape the final game.

We’re also looking for players to join an official actual play campaign of Shadow City Mysteries, run by the Play On Words Studios team. Interested? Or know someone who might be? Join our Discord and keep an eye out for updates on how to apply.

A big thank you to the 95% of you who have completed your surveys. We truly appreciate it! 🙌 If you’re one of the remaining 14 backers, please complete your survey at your earliest convenience. Remember, you can still add items to your order if there’s anything else you'd like to include.

Missed the campaign? No problem, our Pre-Order Store is still open! 🎉

Now’s your chance to grab a copy of the game, add exclusive items, and immerse yourself in the world of Shadow City.
