The Brewing Update Preview - Available Now.
Good things come to those who wait - the impatient ones can reach out for them on their own.
As you may know from the previous news, we decided to split the upcoming Witch Mountain into two parts - The Brewing is going to be released on the 19th of December, and the second part will be released early next year. We've decided to accelerate things a little bit, at least for those among you who are not afraid to get their hands dirty, and thus a preview of The Brewing is available right now.
We will obviously be fixing bugs, with planned patches dropping tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and on the 19th we're going to make The Brewing available for every owner of the game without the need to change anything at your end. For now, however, The Brewing is in a bit of an experimental mode, so you may encounter an occasional bug here and there (more than usual), and we decided it should be an opt-in kind of an update.

If you still want to play the Preview, in order to unlock it, please do the following:
Done! The game will update and you will be able to dive into the game and get your hands on Alchemy, new weapons and items, experience Hermitorium Moods and Boss Reshuffle. Here's a handy summary for those of you who would rather see things than read about them:
You can also wait and have a more polished experience this Thursday, but we know you like to be on the bleeding edge (Witchfire is in Early Access after all!), so... Have a blast!
P.S. We made a topic for the Preview feedback: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3156770/discussions/0/561358509790283810/

- If you are on limited Internet, do not play the Preview. Opting in will download the patch, and going back will download the game again. No problem for those with fast unlimited net, but for everybody else, just please wait for the official patch on the 19th.
- We are already aware of some bugs, so if you want the cleanest experience, just wait two days. Also, while you can clone and use your savegames from the main branch, anything you achieve when playing the Brewing Preview will NOT transfer back to the main game (at least not automatically, wink wink). So the Preview is just an early peek for fun, not an early release of The Brewing.
If you still want to play the Preview, in order to unlock it, please do the following:
- Restart Steam,
- Right-click on the game in your library, select "Properties...",
- Navigate to Betas,
- Expand the drop-down menu next to "Beta Participation",
- Select "preview - Public preview branch" from the list,
- Close the properties window.
