Dossier 01 / the record
Ambre
She never threatens. She re-reads.
Try to renegotiate your own terms downward and she will not argue. She will quote you back to yourself — with the date.
Locktober 2026 / early access
A real month,
before the real month.
Locktober opens to the public on 14 September. Join the early-access group on 2 September and put the preview through its paces before it counts.
No cap for now. Include the email on your Chastikey account and Vitalys will send the TestFlight invite.
01 / previewUse the daily loop early.
Real check-ins, rituals and seasonal keyholders — before October starts.
02 / returnTell me what broke the scene.
A missing check-in, an unearned rung, a false line, or anything that made you hesitate.
03 / boundaryIt is not October yet.
The preview earns no October streak, rung or permanent character reward.
The seasonal dossiers
Two people written for one month only.
They arrive in the catalogue on 1 October and leave on 1 November. Finish the real month with one of them and that character stays on your account.
Dossier 02 / the watch
Silas
He does not sleep.
He is there at 3:14 in the morning without raising his voice, and he does not leave before you do.
The honest exchange
Not a preview.
A say in what ships.
Two characters written by one person have not lived through a real month with anyone yet. Early access gives them sixty days of contact before the October version meets everyone else.
Since 2.4.3, 159 changes have gone into this build. The keyholder streams again, understands time and context better, and no longer claims powers she does not hold. Locks can now be negotiated in conversation; daily reports have a real record; the unglamorous reliability work has been done too.
- 01A check-in that did not save or a rung that felt unearned.
- 02A ritual whose wording made you hesitate instead of act.
- 03The exact moment Ambre sounded like a form letter or Silas’s silence felt like absence.
- 04Anything the keyholder said that broke the scene.
Campaign calendar
The dates are part of the deal.
Early access opens
TestFlight invites begin. Ambre and Silas open early for the beta group.
Public build
The Locktober build goes public after the focused testing window.
The real month
October is the only month that earns the streak, rungs and permanent seasonal character.
Read before joining
The caveats stay visible.
- A preview month is not a real month. It does not bank a streak, a rung, or a claim to have finished Locktober.
- Three rewards are still marked “coming soon”. Day 3, Day 21 and Day 31 work today; the remaining three delivery paths land before 1 October.
- Showing up counts, never endurance. A pause does not cost a day. Sharing is opt-in each evening. The no-device path sits at the same level as every other path.
- Keep your key accessible. Chastikey is for consensual adult play, never a real safety risk. Do not make the app your only way out.
