Our Main Takeaways From the Open Alpha

Date: 2025-02-28 14:57:46

Greetings, Rue Valley residents!

The Rue Valley alpha has finally come to an end. It was so inspiring to see how many of you played the game and shared your impressions with each other and with us. We’ve gathered a lot of feedback from Steam, our social media, and our Discord!

And without further ado, we have some statistics from our alpha survey that we want to share with you.

The most commonly mentioned highlights for players were the game’s visual style, story, and the impact of Mr. Harrow’s personality.

83% of you enjoyed the story so far and look forward to exploring more of Rue Valley in the future.
31% of you liked everything about the alpha. 30% thought the UI was the least enjoyable aspect of the game, and 24% didn’t enjoy the Mind Map. Don’t worry, though; we are already working on improving these aspects of Rue Valley!

The average rating of the Rue Valley alpha in this survey is 8/10. Our team is incredibly grateful and motivated by this reception. We’ll do our best to make the game even more enjoyable on release!
The average rating for all localizations was over 4/5, and we are glad we managed to add localizations to the Rue Valley alpha.

As we are writing this, our team is wrapping up work on the next part of the game, that follows the content of the alpha. This is an important milestone for us, and we are immensely excited to see how the first half of Rue Valley is coming together and turning into something we can play from start to finish.

A lot of people asked us about the release date, but, unfortunately, it has yet to be decided. We need to finish most of the Rue Valley content first before we can commit to any specific date. Rest assured, though, you will be the first to know when we are ready to announce its future release. Meanwhile, you can subscribe to our social media and join our Discord. Also, if you liked what you saw in the alpha, don’t forget to wishlist Rue Valley on Steam.

Our deepest gratitude to all the players,
Love, Emotion Spark Studio
