What’s changed in Dichotomy since the first Monotype beta test?
If you participated in Monotype or simply followed the news, you’ll notice the main difference in Dichotomy right away: there will finally be a male protagonist. In the previous beta, players could only try out a female character. Now, the choice has been expanded—and that’s not the only new feature.
The developers have prepared the largest update since the game’s announcement. Here’s what Dichotomy will add compared to Monotype:
-
Male Protagonist – For the first time in the game, you’ll be able to choose a male protagonist and experience the story from their perspective.
-
New Characters and Storylines – An expanded cast of companions and additional storylines.
-
Previously Inaccessible Areas of Silvernia – The open-world geography has expanded.
-
Reworked Combat System – Battles are now smoother, more responsive, and more dynamic.
-
Improved Animation and Visual Effects – The Unreal Engine 5 build looks even more vibrant.
What Monotype had What’s being added to Dichotomy?
The studio is clearly focusing on development—Dichotomy isn’t just a remake of Monotype, but a significant expansion of the gameplay experience. Those who played in January will notice the difference from the very first minutes.
How to increase your chances of getting into the closed beta: strategies and tips
Registration is now open, but not everyone will have access—the developers are holding a selection process. Competition will be fierce. Here’s what you can do to increase your chances:
Fill out the form as completely as possible. This is the main selection stage. The questionnaire is available on the official website at surveys.elementagames.com/s2/10010/6368/ . The developers are reviewing the responses, and the more information you provide about your gaming experience and system specifications, the higher your chance of being accepted as a tester.
Apply as early as possible. Recruitment opened on June 26th, and although it officially runs until July 16th, many studios are selecting participants as applications come in. Delay is the enemy here.
Please provide your actual system requirements. Testing takes place on a PC, and if your hardware doesn’t meet the recommended specifications, your chances are reduced. Here are the official requirements for Dichotomy:
Please be prepared for strict rules. Only users 18 years of age or older may participate. Access is tied to the first device; attempting to change your PC will result in loss of eligibility. Transferring or selling your account is prohibited and will result in a ban.
Monitor your application status. Once the selection process is complete, the developers will send invitations via email. You can check your status through a special section on the official website.
Important: If you have already completed the Monotype survey, you may not need to complete it again—some participants automatically receive access to Dichotomy. Check the status on the official website by clicking “Check Test Access.” This is a rare opportunity to save time and increase your chances.
The Dichotomy beta test itself will be a key stage in testing the game before future public reveals and a full release. Silver Palace’s release date hasn’t been announced yet, but the game is being developed for PC, consoles, iOS, and Android—so it’s a long time coming.
Gather facts from all available sources, fill out the form, and wait for an invitation. Silvernia awaits.
