The people working at Nuclear Kitty Games didn’t have a lot growing up, so we know what it feels like to want to play something and not have the chance. We were lucky if we got one game a year on our birthday. We want people to love our games, and we understand times can be tough.
With this in mind, we’ve developed the Game Access Program to help people enjoy our games even through tough times. In return, we kindly ask that you follow us on social media and join our Discord community.
Disclaimer & Access Policy: All requests are manually reviewed by Nuclear Kitty Games. If anything appears incomplete, inconsistent, or suspicious, we may decline the request or email you for additional information. Access isn’t guaranteed and may be limited by region, timing, or test capacity. By submitting, you confirm your information is accurate and that you won’t sell, transfer, or share access.
How access works (no keys): We grant access by your SteamID64 — the 17-digit Steam ID tied to your account. We use Steam’s Playtest tools to grant a license directly to that ID. Because access is bound to your account, there are no keys to leak or resell, which prevents “rogue keys” from ending up on third-party sales websites. If your request is approved, we add your SteamID to our allow list in Steamworks; after that, your account can install the designated build. We can also revoke access later by removing that SteamID from the list. We store your SteamID64 only to process your request and manage access; email us if you’d like it removed. Policies may change without notice.
Is SteamID the only thing needed? Yes — your 17-digit SteamID64 lets us grant (and revoke) Playtest access directly in Steamworks. No keys or passwords involved.
Request sent — thank you!
About Us
Nuclear Kitty Games
We're a traveling digital nomad games studio — no fixed office, just a small crew making
playful, cat-themed games wherever the road takes us.
We love creating small, fun gaming experiences. Every game should be just as
fun playing alone as it is with other people — so we aim for all our games to support
multiplayer in one way or another.

virtual production and previs/postvis in Unreal.

Answers about keyless access, Steam sign-in, and how we handle requests.
Instead of handing out keys, we can grant access directly to your Steam account. This avoids leaked or resold keys — your account either has access or it doesn't.
Signing in via Steam (OpenID) lets us read your 17-digit SteamID64 and grant access without a key. We never see your password — authentication happens on Steam.
Yes — for Steam access, your SteamID64 is sufficient. We use Playtest/Beta package grants in Steamworks to enable or remove access on that account.
We assign your SteamID to a Playtest/Beta package or branch. We can remove access later if needed (e.g., abuse, resale attempts, or time-limited tests).
Press, content creators of any size, and players facing tough times. We want people to enjoy our games — please follow our socials and join Discord to support the studio.
No — Steam access is for the Steam version only. Other platforms may have separate processes.
Your form info and (if you signed in) your SteamID64 — used solely to process the request and manage access. We don't sell data. Email us if you'd like it removed.
We try to review requests quickly. Playtests and embargoed builds may be scheduled — we'll email you if timing affects access.
We're opening up limited Playtest / Beta access. Sign in through Steam and tell us a little about your setup.
We grant access directly to your account via Steam Playtest — no keys to leak or resell.
How access works: We use your SteamID64 (the 17-digit ID tied to your account) to grant a Playtest/beta license in Steamworks. Your account can then install the test build when the playtest is live. Access can be revoked later by removing your SteamID. No keys or passwords involved.
