QA Playtest a Rough Browser Text RPG — Transcript Required

Posted 3 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I need 3 QA playtesters for a rough browser-based text RPG prototype called Blackmere. This is an unfinished gothic/horror text game. I am not looking for praise, marketing feedback, or polished game reviews. I need testers to play naturally and help identify where the game becomes confusing, misunderstands commands, or gets stuck. The prototype is mostly reading and typing. You will play one short session in your browser, download the transcript, and answer a short feedback form. Your task: 1. Open the browser prototype. 2. Start a new playthrough. 3. Play naturally for one session. 4. If you feel confused, type what you would actually type. 5. If the game seems stuck, try one or two more natural commands, then note where it happened. 6. Download the transcript at the end. 7. Send me the transcript file. 8. Answer a short feedback form. Please do not use ChatGPT or another AI assistant while playing. I need your real reactions and real typed commands. What I am testing: * whether the game understands natural player commands * where players get stuck * whether the interface is confusing * whether transcript download works * whether the scene is understandable enough to finish Deliverables: * downloaded transcript file * short feedback answers * list of stuck/confusing moments, if any Budget: $5 fixed price per completed test. Possible bonus: * $5 bonus for a completed playthrough with useful feedback * additional bonus possible for especially useful bug reports Estimated time: 30–45 minutes first playthrough. Subsequent tests faster. Good fit: * game QA testers * RPG players * D&D/tabletop players * interactive fiction readers * horror or narrative game fans * strong English readers/writers Not a good fit: * you dislike reading-heavy games * you only want to test graphics or action gameplay * you cannot send the transcript * you plan to use AI tools to generate your playthrough or feedback To apply, please answer: 1) Are you comfortable testing a rough prototype that may have bugs? 2) Will you download and send the transcript after playing? 3) Will you avoid using ChatGPT or another AI assistant while playing? 4) What is your English reading/writing level?
