NC has announced the recruitment schedule for the Closed Beta Test (CBT) of its upcoming subculture RPG, 'Astrae Oratio.'

Users can apply for the CBT from August 19 to September 21. Specific details, such as the application process and supported platforms, have not yet been finalized and will be announced sequentially through official social media channels.

Developed by Dynamis One, 'Astrae Oratio' is a subculture RPG in the 'Shin-denki' genre, set in a fantasy world where magic exists. The 'Shin-denki' genre, a term from Japanese pop culture, refers to narratives that blend reality with mythic and supernatural elements; this title similarly emphasizes fantasy elements and character-driven storytelling.

Since first revealing the game's title and brand identity (BI) on April 30, NC has been steadily releasing information about its key characters and world-building. By consistently sharing details on characters, clans, and lore without any significant gaps in communication, the company appears to be focused on building a fan base ahead of the official launch.

On the 28th, the company unveiled new key visuals for the 'Akina Ghost Story Research Lab' clan. While the specific role and narrative significance of this clan remain undisclosed, further details are expected to be revealed in the future.

This CBT serves as a process to gauge user reactions ahead of the official launch, and it is expected that player feedback will be incorporated to refine the game's systems and overall quality. Further information about the game can be found on the official website and social media channels.
