Hi all! I’m looking for a few folks to give feedback on the beta of my game The Path of Totality. It’s a choice-based game authored in ink and played in-browser.
Testers will be credited in the finished game, and I’m also offering testers an opportunity to enter a raffle to win a watercolor painting commission.
This short game is expected to take between 90 minutes and 2 hours to play. After playing, you’ll be asked to complete a short feedback form. I’m asking testers to play only in desktop Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge at this time, and to complete the game and submit feedback by August 18, 2025.
If you’re interested, please DM me or send me an email at lamppostprojects@gmail.com and I’ll send you the playtesting instructions with a private link to the beta!
Synopsis
Journey through forest glen and over windswept moor to an ancient stone circle, where a goddess will grant blessings during the total solar eclipse.

Play as a pilgrim, adventurer, or astronomer in this cozy fantasy adventure inspired by the landscapes and folklore of the Dartmoor and the Southwest of England.
