Registration opened on June 26, 2026 and runs until July 16, 2026 at 23:59 (UTC+8). Like Round 1, it is a limited PC (Windows) test with no in-game purchases and a full progress reset at the end. Selected applicants are notified by email and can confirm access through a "Check Test Access" option on the official website.49495050Dichotomy is described as the largest playable update to date. It introduces a playable male protagonist, a cast of new characters, and expanded story content. New areas of Silvernia that were only partially accessible during the Identity Test are opened, alongside new open-world content and gameplay systems. The combat system has been adjusted to improve responsiveness and control feel. The core loop is unchanged: players return as detectives, take on new cases and mysteries across the city, and use clues to piece together their investigations. A gameplay showcase released in July 2026 previewed the Dichotomy build, spotlighting the female protagonist's investigations and open-world activities including driving, chess, and board games.51515252The recruitment announcement included an updated two-tier PC system requirements sheet for the Dichotomy build, adding an official minimum tier alongside the recommended tier.
