E19 Community Open Beta Downloads

Amethyst · April 16, 2022

On April 16th, 2012, Reborn release its first episode to the community. It was janky, incomplete, and thrown together within two weeks. I thought I would get bored of the project and drop it after another month. It was never expected to further than this site.

Ten years later, thanks to the overflowing and resounding support of everyone both in and outside of the community, I honored and ecstatic to be able to bring you the final complete version of the game. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us reach this point, been part of the community, or simply enjoyed the game and waited patiently.

This belongs to all of us together.

That said, this is still technically a beta version! So let's keep some things in mind!

Please remember to save often!

Turbulence is expected.

Respect others' spoiler preferences

Given the vast amount of content and players starting from various points, better safe than sorry when it comes to spoilers!

Some people will not be playing early game or postgame right away, so please keep this in mind when posting images and making topic titles.

This goes double for people datamining through game files and code. Keep it to yourself and let others have the joy of discovering things in game.

Spoiler Lock will be in effect for ALL content until May 16th. Spoiler Lock will be in effect for Postgame content until July 16th.

Until those dates, you are expected to keep content under spoilers out of courtesy to others.

Please be sensitive about bringing this out of the community.

Media coverage is a double-edged sword and is discouraged during the open beta. We are not disallowing streams, but please make sure that it is clear that this is still a beta if you are streaming before the public release.

Discord is for discussion, NOT Bug Reporting.

Liveblog, react, chat and hang out on the Discord. We recommend making threads for liveblogs and personal runs! Please keep spoilers in mind.

But whatever you do, please do not report bugs through Discord. If you have a bug to post, start here.
