Game playtesting

Scoped pilots

See where players feel it.

Players rarely say exactly where a game lost them. We run playtest sessions and align participant feedback, and signals where in scope, to gameplay footage so your team can see the moments that matter.

For · Game studios and publishers.

Decisions this informs

  • Whether onboarding teaches the game without losing players.
  • Where difficulty spikes feel unfair rather than challenging.
  • Where players report frustration or boredom.
  • How players respond to story beats and characters.

When to test

  • Vertical slice
  • Onboarding and tutorial
  • Alpha and beta builds
  • Narrative sequences

Study approach

  • Players matched to your target audience play in controlled sessions.
  • Session timelines are aligned to gameplay footage.
  • Integrating in-game event data is subject to scope.
  • Game playtesting is currently offered as scoped pilots. Methods are confirmed in your proposal.

A physiological or behavioural signal does not identify a person's internal emotion with certainty. Findings need context, participant feedback and human interpretation.

What you receive

  • Session timelines aligned to gameplay footage
  • Onboarding and difficulty findings
  • Reported frustration and boredom moments, with player comments
  • Narrative response summary
  • A debrief session with your design team

What this study cannot tell you

  • — Churn prediction.
  • — Monetisation outcomes.
  • — We do not do engagement or addiction optimisation.
