  Thank You for an Amazing Playtest! ❤️

  Hey everyone 👋 It has been amazing to see how many of you have taken part in the If Red Then Stop playtest. So far, more than 7,000 players have joined the playtest, and over 2,000 of you have filled out our feedback form! That is honestly incredibly helpful for us. We have received a huge amount of interesting, detailed, and constructive feedback, and it is already helping us understand what works well, what can be improved, and where we should take the game next. So, a massive thank you to everyone who played, filled out the survey, reported a problem, or simply shared their thoughts with us. 🥰 The playtest will remain open until Monday. After that, we will close it for now and get back to working on the next steps. But this won't be the last chance to play If Red Then Stop. We are already working on new levels, and in the near future we plan to release a demo with more for you to try. So there is definitely more coming. 🚦 Since many of you have requested it, we will also translate the demo into 9 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Russian. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45812039/c00ba26c44a3471265e4e48daa893a8cd61f9b5e.png Until then, thank you again for all the time you have spent testing the game and helping us improve it.

  Visual Update – We Chose a Direction (and You Can Sign Up for the Playtest!)

  Hey everyone 👋A little while ago, we asked you to help us decide on the visual style of If Red Then Stop. After testing, iterating, and reading your feedback… We’ve made a decision! 🥳 🎨 Our new lookWe’re going with a blue, brighter interface combined with a technical grid background. We haven't reworked the 3D assets (cars, trains, roads, etc.) yet and will take a look at them later. Why this direction?It keeps the engineering and technical feelIt improves clarity and readabilityIt still feels like you're working with a real operating system, not just a game UIThe grid was especially important to us, because it helps preserve the technical look we want for the game.🎮 Sign up for the playtestNext, we’ll be launching our first small-scale playtest here on Steam. If you’d like to join, you can request access to the playtest on our Steam page. And if you haven’t wishlisted If Red Then Stop yet, it would help us enormously.
