Beta Testers For Pandora Needed!

Hey everyone!

After a major rebuild, Age of Pandora - DAREBEE's interactive fitness RPG - is almost ready to go live, and we need your help to get it there.

For those unfamiliar: Age of Pandora is a branching narrative adventure with real workouts woven into the story. Your fitness choices shape the game. It's got 60 chapters, multiple endings, an inventory system, an interactive map, and a whole lot of post-apocalyptic lore.

The game has been fully rewritten from the ground up - new architecture, new UI, cleaner code - and before it goes live on darebee.com, we want to make sure it actually works for real humans on real devices.

What we are looking for:
- People willing to play through chapters and report anything that feels broken, weird, or off
- Testers on a variety of devices (desktop, mobile, tablet) and browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
- Honest feedback on the UI, navigation, inventory, and map
- Anyone who previously played the old version and can compare

You don't need to be a developer - if you can click things and notice when something doesn't work, you qualify.

If you're interested, drop a reply here or send me a message. I'll share the test link and a simple feedback form.

Thank you in advance - this community is what makes projects like this possible

Yeah! I am excited to see the new Pandora! I would be happy to test in Firefox browser on my desktop!

I did do the original AoP--but that was a long time ago!

Hi! I have never tested a program before! is it just the digital side of things whilst we do the programs ourselves, or testing the whole interface and days regardless of whether we do the program?
I am happy to check the whole IT side of things (from a user perspective) with different internet explorers, checking each day individually, the timers/sets, inventories, etc.
I might do the program, but unfortunately I cannot assure I will finish it . I struggle with following programs in general.

If that is OK, count me in.

I would like to play, but i never complete Pandora before, it is mandatory or better ? I have 3 differents browser here to test if needed.

@LiteraryMatcha @graoumia you don't need to complete the program itself, we only need you to test the functionality and make sure everything is working OK you can stop at any point - or skip the text to avoid spoilers.

I'm happy to give it a(nother) go. So long as you don't mind if I miss any of the jump knee tucks (if you've kept them in).

Hehe, thanks! It's a solid level 3 program now. No high impact exercises on the main story. And all of the kicks, push-ups and jump lunges are in the optional subquests - jobs and fights. We've changed the workouts completely there are a lot of high knees still though!

If you need a beta tester I can help you out. Between my Android and Opera/Brave/TOR/Firefox/Chrome/Edge browsers I think I'd have you covered.

 

[Jaga]

Me and I! would love to recomplete it & test it.

 

[Syrius]

Hey, count me in!! I'll be more than happy to help!

 

[neilarey]

Excellent!!! thank you so much everyone for volunteering! Once we have the first version ready to go, I'll add everyone to a private thread

 

[Pseudonymravid]

I can try it! Pandora was the first Darebee program I finished and still my favorite!

There are jobs which lead me to Unnamed Forest but when I try to go there it says I need a bow to step in. Without a bow I do not even know how many steps I need to reach the forest to complete jobs.
