Mixed Realms × Ludeo · Pre-launch campaign
Keep an upcoming game playable, all the way to Next Fest
Mixed Realms' 13Z: The Zodiac Trials launches in 2027, and its last public demo closed in June. The goal was to build a playing audience ahead of Steam Next Fest in October. We integrated 13Z in three days and kept it one click away in the browser all summer: creator streams, a leaderboard challenge for full-game keys, and a playtest the studio ran for its own community.
