Silver Palace Opens Long-Term "Private Investigator" Testing Initiative
Silver Palace has officially initiated its Confidential "Private Investigator" long-term testing program, selecting dedicated tactical theorycrafters and action enthusiasts to test early combat kits and urban exploration under strict NDA.
- No Sign-Up Deadline: The Private Investigator Project stays open year-round. You can send in your form whenever you're ready.
- Strict NDA Rules: Every playtest is locked behind a real Non-Disclosure Agreement. No streaming, clips, or screenshots are allowed.
- Rough-Draft Features: You're testing early combat tweaks and unannounced systems, not a polished launch build.
- Full Wipe & Free Top-Ups: Cash shops are turned off completely, and accounts get wiped clean after each test wraps up.
- Adults Only (18+): You have to be 18 or older and fill out the official recruitment survey to qualify.

How the Private Investigator Pool Works
Most gacha betas run on a big promotional timer and then vanish for months. The Private Investigator Project doesn't work like that. Once you send in the recruitment survey, your profile goes into a permanent shortlist that Elementa pulls from whenever they need a small group to test unreleased Silver Palace builds.
Elementa dropped the announcement on October 9, 2026, right before Dichotomy: Retrace sign-ups closed. Now that the main beta window is shutting, this pool is the only door still open if you want early hands-on time with the game.
Private Investigator Pool vs. Dichotomy: Retrace
Since the Private Investigator Project went live right as Dichotomy: Retrace sign-ups were wrapping up, plenty of players mixed the two up. They're two completely separate programs:
| Operational Parameter | Private Investigator Project | Dichotomy: Retrace |
|---|---|---|
| Application Window | Permanent / No Expiration Date | Closes Oct 10, 2026 (18:00 UTC+8) |
| Target Environment | PC & Targeted Experimental Builds | Android, iOS & PC Cross-Platform |
| Evaluation Focus | In-development features, mechanics & systems | Hardware optimization, mobile client stability |
| Selection Model | Iterative drafts per confidential test cycle | Single centralized selection for the Retrace phase |
| Survey Dependency | Requires dedicated Investigator Survey | Requires separate Retrace Technical Survey |
NDA Rules & Test Restrictions
If you get picked for a Private Investigator test, you're playing under a strict NDA. Here's what Elementa requires:
The Detective (Lead Operative) 5★ Gravitas · Striker DPS Playable lead protagonist who runs investigation cases across Silvernia.
↗ The Detective (Alternate Persona) 5★ Gravitas · Striker DPS Shares the exact same Gravitas kit, stats, and Mind Palace deduction mechanics.
- Binding NDA Enforcement: You'll have to sign a legal Non-Disclosure Agreement before they send your launcher link. Streaming, recording clips, posting screenshots, or leaking details on Discord will get you booted.
- Zero Financial Commitment: Real-money top-ups are completely disabled. Elementa just mails you test currency so you can pull characters and test balance.
- Complete Progress Wipe: Nothing carries over. Your account level, Operatives, Motives, and inventory get wiped as soon as the test server shuts down.
- Age Limitation: You must be 18 or older. Faking your age or PC specs on the form will get your UID blacklisted from future tests.
