Hello, fellow gamers! I'm excited to bring you the latest on SERUM, a first-person survival adventure game developed by Game Island and published by Toplitz Productions. Having tested the early demo, participated in the current playtest, and closely followed both teams, I've become a genuine fan of what they're creating.
Head over to Steam to join the Playtest
Developer Game Island and publisher Toplitz Productions are pleased to announce that the playtest for their exciting first-person survival adventure game, SERUM, is now live on Steam for PC.
The playtest, which will run for a week, offers gamers a unique opportunity to provide Game Island with valuable feedback on the game. This phase is crucial as it helps the developers optimize the gaming experience in preparation for the upcoming launch on Steam early access.
Having tested the early demo and participated in the current playtest, I have followed the development team at Game Island and their publisher Toplitz Productions closely. I am a fan of their commitment to engaging and innovative gameplay. The game runs smoothly even on super ultrawide monitors, and you can check out some of my gameplay:
