Hey everyone!

As we near the release of the Closed Alpha, I figured now would be a good time to let you know how you can already take the first step needed to claim your key(s). If you have backed the game on the Qi Software website, or if you have registered on the Qi site to get your Backer role for the discord server, then you can ignore this post as y'all are good to go. This is meant for people who have backed the game on Kickstarter or Indiegogo and have not already made an account on Qi, as that is where keys will be distributed from.

The steps are as simple as can be:

  1. Register an account on Qi Software using the same email address you used when backing.
  2. Confirm that you can see your backing order on the Orders page.

BOOM, you're ready to simply sign in to claim your key(s) when we sound the alarms!

Now what's the point of me making a post about something this simple? Well because sadly, things aren't always that simple. It's not an uncommon issue for people to register on the site and not see their order immediately, or only see part of what they ordered. This is usually a pretty simple thing to fix, but the sooner you find out you have this problem, the easier it will be for yourself and us come release.

So here's what you do if you don't see your order:

  1. Log out and log back in, then check Orders again. Yes this actually works. Do it two or three times to make absolutely sure.
  2. If you have multiple emails, try changing the email on the Profile page to make sure you didn't use the wrong one when backing. Try your PayPal email as well. Some people that backed during the Kickstarter era may have actually done so using PayPal on a different website that was up back then. You may have to log out and back in again after changing the email for it to take effect.
  3. Search your emails to find a confirmation of your contribution from Kickstarter/Indiegogo. If you don't see one, then it's possible there was a typo in your email when you backed. This is something that can happen when you back as a guest. If this is the case, then unfortunately you'll need to submit a support ticket to Kickstarter/Indiegogo to fix the order information, which may take a business day or two. Other signs that there was a typo in the email is if you can confirm the payment went through in your bank statements, and if you make an account on Kickstarter/Indiegogo and don't see it under your Contributions.
  4. If you only see part of your order, what packs did you get? If you got multiples of the same pack and only see one of them, then don't worry. That's just a visual bug caused by the way backer data is sent to the site from Kickstarter and Indiegogo, and is something that will be taken care of as part of us straightening up the back-end during the release countdown period.

And that just about covers it. These steps fix 99% of the cases where people can't see their orders. If for whatever reason this doesn't work for you, then shoot us a message in the mod mail here in the sub, or an email at [email protected] and we can dive deeper into it to find out what's going on. Take care everyone, and thanks so much for the patience and support!

Still possible! You can get packs on the Qi site linked in the post, or use the indiegogo page linked in the sidebar.

I want to support the development very much but I can do it by giving a smaller amount as well. Not all of us have the ability to give away $35. Thanks for downvoting me for stating this guys. Also, if they decrease the price then me and some other people like me will be able to donate too. It’s better for two people to give 50-60 dollars than them not getting any dollar at all. Jesus Christ downvote me for saying this...

Honestly man I can understand where you're coming from but unfortunately we can't really do anything in terms of price-drops or a sale as it'd be pretty sh*tty to the people that have already backed the game.

Hey! Very excited for closed alpha! Quick question, are we going from a closed alpha into a beta state? Or is there going to be a long down time where we can’t play again. Basically I’m asking, will we be able to play and test through closed alpha all the way to release?

That's the plan. If nothing else, it shouldn't be a long period of downtime between the closed alpha end and early access beginning.

This is a stupid as hell question but I gotta ask because I am entirely unfamiliar with the ordering process from indigogo/kickstarter/qi website whatever.

Is there any risk of keys running out once the game is open to ANY backers two weeks after being available to the Partners? Like is there a finite amount ? If not I have nothing to worry about other than servers being maxed out by a deluge of people wanting in but that can happen regardless. Just want to make sure there's no cap or something or if the devs were planning to cap things to avoid servers getting mega-slammed.

Secondary question that is offtopic from OP: Are the partners under NDA while playing closed-alpha? or can we expect to see some video clips uploaded by Partners?

No such risk like that, as steam supplies the keys when we tell them how many are needed based on the orders. Servers shouldn't be too big a problem either, as anyone can host one themselves.

Even partners will be under an NDA, but they will have opportunities to post content.

Hi there ! I bought the double barrel on Indigogo for me and my friend. I have the order in order list on QI Software. He has nothing. Will I receive the 2 keys ? Or he has to receive one on his email adress ? Should he see the order ? (I don’t really remember if I had to give is email adress on indigogo, but I’m pretty sure I did).

You'll get both keys and can give your friend theirs

do the keys work for ps4

If the game comes to console, then you'll still have to buy it. Keys for backing now are only for pc

Is it too late to get in on the closed alpha? I know some people have been backing for a long while, but I've only just recently built a pc, and would love to be involved in this.

Not at all! The link to the Qi site in this post will take you to where you can order packs for the game.

Hi, and I'm gonna burst with excitement!, Can I just ask; All those in Discord with a blue title (name) are backers eligible for a key on the closed playtest ? I am blue, I checked my order on the order page and I see I bought into Single-Action Pack, It doesn't mention anything about a key, however it says: You’ll receive access to the closed alpha and Steam Early Access + other benefits. So this is going to allow me to playtest ?

Thanks for reading!

Yup! You get that access via stream keys

Dumb question, but as long as I bought on indiegogo, I don't have to do anything else right?

You will still need to register on the Qi site, as that's where keys are being distributed from

I want to know just one thing when the closed alpha comes out I can buy it on steam or am I obliged to buy it on the IQ site to have early access ???

During the closed alpha you will have to back the game on Qi. You can only buy the game on steam when early access comes.

A question about the QI site. If you bought The Blackest Eyes package from way back on the Kickstarter, is the Hazmat suit included with your key or is it a separate key all together. QI is only showing that I would receive 1 full key, and one closed alpha key for a friend.

I believe it's a separate key. You should be getting 2 Closed alpha only keys (one you can give to a friend), and 1 key for early access/full release

I got the "We all float down here" pack a loooong time ago, will that include two closed alpha keys as well or just one with two full release keys?

There should be a closed alpha key for every early access key

Stupid question, but i bought the double barrel pack, and it says "Early access Steam (2)" does it mean that i don't get the full game on release, and its simply a early access pack??

Early access turns into the full release version of the game
