Hello everyone!
Christmas came a little early this year, and we’re very excited to share a special gift with all of you… 🎁
🎮 Black Tower Enigma - Preview Edition?
Today, we’re happy to announce the Black Tower Enigma – Preview Edition, a preliminary version of the full game that we’re sharing exclusively with our backers.
The Preview Edition lets you play through the entire main game, but it does not yet include all the final features, such as:
🎣 The fishing mini-game
🏰 The alternate ending
🧩 Additional extra puzzles planned for the final release
These features are still in development and will be added to the final version of Black Tower Enigma.
You’ll soon receive an email from BackerKit with a download code to access the Preview Edition game ROM.
👉 Important: This same itch.io code will also grant you access to the final version of the game, including all future updates and extra content once they’re ready.
📋 BackerKit Surveys Are Coming
Your BackerKit survey will also be arriving soon! Please make sure to fill it out, as this is where you’ll:
Confirm your reward and shipping details
Have the option to purchase the Physical Preview Edition (limited to 50) as an add-on, while supplies last
🕹️ Special Physical Surprise – Preview Edition Cartridge
To celebrate this moment, we couldn’t resist doing something extra special… ✨
We’ve created a Black Tower Enigma – Preview Edition physical cartridge, featuring a preview version of the final packaging. This is a very limited test-shot run of only 50 units, produced using a lower-cost cartridge as a way to test the physical production pipeline.
🔔 Please note: This Preview Edition is a completely separate product from the Standard Edition and Collector’s Edition.
The Preview Edition cartridge is available right now, at a lower price than the Standard Edition (price $800 MXN, around $45 USD), exclusively through BackerKit:
⚠️ If you are interested in acquiring this special physical edition, you will be able to do so by adding it to your order in the survey ⚠️
*This limited version (only 50 units) is an additional collectible, not a replacement.
Backers who have already pledged for the Standard or Collector’s Edition will receive their respective final physical editions once production is complete, which we currently expect to be early next year.
We’re incredibly excited to finally put Black Tower Enigma in your hands now, even in this early form, and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
🕹️ Late Pledges Still Open (Limited Time!)
If you missed the campaign or know someone who would love to join, late pledges are still available for a limited time!
