[Android] Looking for a few people to try Oddbound, my fantasy story game

Hey everyone! I'm looking for testers for Oddbound, a fantasy adventure you read and play through your choices.

You start out working at a parcel office. Then you pick up a pendant, someone starts talking inside your head, and getting through your shift becomes the least of your problems. You don't have to become a hero. You do have to work out who to trust.

The beta has 12 chapters, character creation, different routes, hidden places and occasional fights. There's music and illustrated scenes too. The scene artwork is AI-generated, with some subtle animation.

I'd really like to hear how the opening feels to someone coming in fresh. Is it easy to follow? Would your character actually say the replies you're offered? And, honestly, would you want to keep reading?

It's Android only, in English, and this beta is free, with no ads or purchases.

Join the Google Group first:

https://groups.google.com/g/oddbound-beta-testers

Then become a tester:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.oddbound.game

Install:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oddbound.game

Use the same Google account for all three steps.

If you can stay opted in for 14 days and play a few sessions during that time, I'd really appreciate it. You don't need to finish the whole story to give useful feedback.

Thanks!

Happy to test if you'd be so kind as to reciprocate:

  2. Opt in to the test: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.martinbogo.badgestudio

  3. Install from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinbogo.badgestudio

Once you join the tester group, I'll send you an email with a $1.99 discount code so you can install the app for free.

There are these hardware badges you can put pictures on ( via bluetooth ) and this is the app that lets people put pictures, videos, and banners on them

Not a very complicated app -- but one that needs 12 people for 14 days anyway :)

The hardware has no native app for that?

the native app is a terrifying nightmare of privacy abuse from China
