Moon Studios is opening the gates to multiplayer in Isola Sacra, announcing that sign-ups for the first Co-op Closed Beta Test for No Rest for the Wicked are now live. This is the first opportunity for players to test the shared-world experience with a friend, but it comes with some strict rules.
Getting into the test requires more than just interest; you must already own the game on Steam to be considered. If selected, you'll be able to invite a co-op partner to join you, but they will also need to be on your Steam friends list.
How to Join and What to Expect
To throw your name in the hat, you'll need to fill out an official questionnaire provided by Moon Studios. The selection process seems geared toward gathering focused feedback. If you're chosen, you will receive an official email containing a personal access code and an invitation to a private NDA-protected Discord server. This server will be the central hub for communication during the test.
This isn't a public demo. The entire playtest is under a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This means no streaming, no recording gameplay, no screenshots, and no public discussion about your experience. Breaking the NDA will likely result in removal from the test and potential further action.
Do I need to own the game to join the beta?
Yes, one of the main requirements for participation is that you must already own a copy of No Rest for the Wicked in your Steam library. This ensures the test is composed of players already familiar with the base game.
Can I stream or share footage from the co-op beta?
No. The Closed Beta is under a strict NDA. Any form of public sharing, including streaming, video uploads, or screenshots, is strictly prohibited. The test is for feedback purposes only, not for content creation.
This is a crucial step for the game's multiplayer future. Moon Studios is looking for dedicated players to help them refine the co-op systems before they are rolled out to the wider player base. If you're ready to brave the perils of Sacra with an ally and provide valuable feedback, head over to the official channels to find the sign-up questionnaire.
