Silver Palace has been on the radar of action RPG and gacha enthusiasts since its reveal in May 2025, when Elementa, the game’s publisher, first released an Unreal Engine 5 trailer and extended gameplay showcase that spotlighted its Victoria-inspired open world and detective-driven narrative. It is set in the industrial city of Silvernia, where players assume the role of a returning detective drawn into a labyrinth of power struggles and conspiracies.
For those who spent the holidays with their fingers crossed for an invite, selection results are now available for review. Players can verify their status by heading to the game’s official website and pressing the "Check Test Access" button. By simply entering the email address used during the sign-up period, hopeful detectives will know if they’ve been cleared to enter the streets of Silvernia next week.
Do keep in mind, however, that the developers have issued a stern warning that test access is strictly bound to the first device used for login. Attempting to switch hardware mid-test "will result in an account ban and disqualification from further participation in the test."
The Monotype Beta Test will be the game’s first public playable preview. According to the official announcement, this beta will "support PC (Windows) devices exclusively," and will involve "no in-game purchases." All data will be wiped after the testing concludes.
Participants, however, may need to bolster their PC builds to keep up. According to the developers' FAQ, the following recommended specifications are necessary "to ensure smooth installation and gameplay:"
⚫︎ CPU: Intel Core i7-12700 12th Generation
⚫︎ GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, or an AMD graphics card with equivalent capabilities
⚫︎ RAM: 16 GB
⚫︎ Storage: 60 GB
These requirements surpass those of Wuthering Waves’ on Steam. However, they remain significantly more accessible than 2025’s most demanding titles, such as Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. They are not, however, out of line with what one would expect from Unreal Engine-5 powered titles.
Sign-In Bonuses Include Gacha Currency, Characters, and More
Once the test officially launches, testers will find a series of incentives designed to reward players who participate and engage throughout the week-long window. Sign-in bonuses include the following:
⚫︎ Day 1: Ounce × 100,000
⚫︎ Day 2: Character Cinderella
⚫︎ Day 3: Reactor Crystal × 5,000
⚫︎ Day 4: Motive (Riddle of the Other Half)
⚫︎ Day 5: Reactor Crystal × 5,000
Ounces are likely the game’s base currency. Reactor Crystals, meanwhile, are presumed to be its gacha currency, as players can obtain them through "City Roaming (daily quests), [...] City Exploration (exploration rewards), Deep Cognito (deep challenges), and chests."
However, some items like "Motives" remain unexplained ahead of the test. Speculation suggests that they tie into character builds or equipment, but official confirmation will have to wait until testers get their hands dirty.
Moreover, players can also head to the Crystal Exchange to trade for the character Cynthia II (Luna’s Scion).
Perhaps the most enticing incentive of all is the promise of future beta access. Elementa has confirmed that participants who complete "Experience Survey" along with any one of the "In-depth Surveys" during the testing window will receive an automatic invitation to the second round of closed beta testing.
Elementa has not formally confirmed details about subsequent tests, but this at least means that more beta phases are coming. It gives those who weren’t invited to the Monotype Beta Test another opportunity to participate in the future.
