DaRmaZat The survival horror game God Save Birmingham is gearing up for its next development milestone, as developer Ocean Drive Studio has confirmed that a closed alpha test is scheduled to begin later this February via Steam.
Following the release of a recent development log, the studio announced a two-phase closed alpha designed to gather focused feedback on newly implemented systems. The first phase will be reserved exclusively for returning pre-alpha participants, giving long-time testers an early look at recent changes. A second phase will follow shortly after, expanding access to a broader group of players while remaining under closed alpha conditions.
Both phases will be conducted under a strict non-disclosure agreement, meaning no footage, screenshots, or livestreams may be shared. Ocean Drive Studio has indicated that the exact scope of playable content will be detailed closer to the start of testing. Players who previously participated in pre-alpha testing are automatically eligible for both phases unless they opted out, while new participants may apply through an official sign-up process and will be selected ahead of the second phase.
Set in a plague-ravaged version of medieval England, God Save Birmingham blends grounded survival mechanics with physics-driven systems and dark humor. Players must scavenge for supplies, barricade structures, and carefully manage distance and positioning to survive encounters with the undead roaming the streets of a fictionalized 14th-century Birmingham.
