Retro Downfall early access

Private Beta

Arcanum arrives first. The Forge follows when ready.

What accepted participants receive

  • Public access to the Arcanum GitHub repository.
  • Collaborator permissions to the Arcanum repository.
  • Become eligible for part ownership in Retro Downfall; eligibility does not guarantee an ownership grant.
  • Installable Arcanum builds and setup instructions.
  • Release notes and a direct, structured path for feedback and defect reports.
  • The Forge code and builds when its private beta begins.

Initial platform

The initial published build is macOS on Apple Silicon. Additional operating-system builds may follow validation, but they are not promised.

What useful participation looks like

We are looking for people who can work through the real path from setup to a useful record:

  • Install and set up the published build.
  • Connect an operator-chosen provider.
  • Exercise Campaign, Session, and Spell workflows.
  • Send reproducible problem reports with environment details.

Apply for Private Beta

Tell us how you would use Arcanum during the private beta. We will follow up with accepted participants about access.

We will use this only to respond to your application and share private-beta access details.

Include your Apple Silicon hardware, intended provider connection, and the workflows you can try.
