If you missed the Kickstarter campaign for Dark Fantasy ARPG Kristala with cats, don't stress! You can snag all the epic digital, physical, and in-game rewards that were part of the campaign right here - including all the core and remaining limited tiers featured on the Kickstarter.
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
It's officially official, Travelers!
The Backerkit surveys have been sent via email to all backers as of 9:00 am EST this morning. If the survey is not in your inbox, please check your spam folder. The email has been sent from Backerkit.
If you still don't see your survey email, please contact us at [email protected] with the subject "Survey not received - Kickstarter" and include your Kickstarter email address.
Here's a mockup we created of what your survey email will look like...
For your convenience, we've prepared a loose Fulfillment Timeline for the Kristala Kickstarter project.
This Timeline will inevitably evolve and change as we go, but don't worry. We'll be sure to frequently update you with changes to the Timeline as soon as we ourselves have them.
PLEASE NOTE: Alpha Testing for PC will begin sometime before the EA release, and Alpha testing for consoles will begin once the ports for each console have been finalized.
More concrete information about Alpha testing will be shared as we have it, and the Fulfillment Timeline will be updated to reflect Alpha testing info.
To make things as easy as possible, we've prepared a brief Q&A covering our most frequently asked questions. Please feel free to let us know any other questions you may have in the comments.
While many things are still evolving and changing—and we may not have concrete answers for all of your questions at the current time—we're definitely here to help and are more than happy to answer your questions to the best of our ability.
Can I upgrade my pledge or purchase more add-ons?
Yes! You can upgrade your pledge and manage your add-ons via Backerkit and the fulfillment survey process. You should have your survey email already; please check your spam if you don't see it.
When will my card be charged for Backerkit Upgrades or Add Ons?
Your card will be charged for any pledge upgrades or additional add ons made to your pledge via Backerkit during the survey process only after the surveys close on 10/31/23. We'll make an official announcement before we begin charging cards so you can be prepared.
If you do not select any upgrades or add ons during the Backerkit survey process, no additional charges will be processed for your pledge.
How do I claim my reward options?
All rewards will be claimed via Backerkit. Completing your survey will allow you to choose which platform you want your game on, which platform(s) you'd like for your alpha testing keys, which name should be included in the game credits, which in-game items you want to select, and so on.
Once surveys have been closed, digital rewards will be issued via Backerkit and physical rewards will be shipped to you in a single package (except for the Physical PS5 copies, which will be shipped separately once the PS5 port for the full game release has been completed).
All in-game rewards (including the Early Bird Magic Talisman for those who backed the project via an Early Bird tier) will be issued to you along with your copy of Kristala, on the platform(s) you selected.
Do I have to make a Backerkit account to claim my rewards?
No. You can simply use your Kickstarter email address to access Backerkit.
When will I receive the Alpha testing keys?
The Alpha keys will be distributed as soon as they are ready, for each individual platform. Alpha testing keys for PC will be issued first, followed by keys for consoles once each console port has been completed.
Can I get access to the Discord server?
Yes! If you haven't already, please complete our Discord Role survey to receive your Backer-only role and to unlock access to our exclusive, backer-only channels.
We'll begin assigning the exclusive Alpha tester Discord role once surveys have been locked.
How will I be contacted for new updates or survey information?
We will send all updates to your Kickstarter email. Your Backerkit survey has also already been issued to your Kickstarter email address. If you don't see it in your inbox, please check your spam.

We know today's update covered a ton of information, so don't forget to save it so you may access it again as needed. Still have questions? Share them in the comment section for this update!
The project Fulfillment Timeline shared above will undoubtedly continue to evolve as we work through the fulfillment process, so please be patient. We'll update you with new information as we have it.
A special, Backer-only webpage with in-the-moment updates and an even more comprehensive project FAQ section will also soon be live on our website, so keep your eyes peeled for updates on that as well.
Until then, it's survey time, Travelers!

Greetings, dearest of Travelers!
WE DID IT!!! THANK YOU!!!
It has been an incredible 30 days, and we can't thank you enough for backing and supporting Dark Fantasy Action RPG Kristala. Not only are we fully funded, but we also reached all of the stretch goals!! WHAT?!! This is truly beyond our wildest dreams.
We feel so lucky to be developing Kristala alongside all of you, and it's been heartwarming to see our amazing community grow with so many dedicated gamers and cat lovers.
From actively participating in Discord and helping us answer questions in and out of Kickstarter, to providing awesome feedback/suggestions and sharing in the excitement of the final countdown, we're thrilled you'll be joining us on this journey!
Our priority remains working on the Alpha, which is scheduled to release next year.
Over the next 14 days, Kickstarter will confirm pledges with all backers. We're also preparing Backerkit, an online platform that allows backers to manage their pledge, increase it to get new rewards, and acquire additional add-ons.
Later this month, we'll post an update about the rewards, a mini post-campaign Q&A, instructions for how to claim the Discord title/role, and share with you an overall timeline for the project.
If you're interested in more in-depth progress on what we do every day in the studio, please join our Discord server. We share tons of regular dev updates there!

For those who may have missed our campaign or didn't have access to credit cards, don't panic! We're working on a pre-order store and will post an update to inform you when it's ready!
Thank you again for all of your unwavering and ongoing support. Thank you for believing in small creators and valuing creative endeavors like Kristala. And most importantly, thank you for joining us on this exciting journey.
