Install The Fortress

install once — the launcher keeps you updated

Regular — the game exactly as players get it. Play this one.

QA — the same game plus a cheat panel, for when a test needs it.

No account, no store. On Windows & Mac one small launcher installs and updates everything. Or skip all this and just play free in your browser →

🪟 Windows
⬇ Download the launcher
  1. Run it. First time, SmartScreen warns because it's unsigned — click More info, then Run anyway.
  2. Open the launcher, press Download, and let it finish.
  3. Press Regular to play. Press QA only when a test needs the cheat panel.

After this, just open the launcher whenever you play — it updates everything for you.

🍎 macOS
⬇ Download the launcher
  1. Unzip it and open the launcher app. First time, macOS blocks it because it's unsigned: click Done, then System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
  2. In the launcher, press Download and let it finish.
  3. Press Regular to play. Press QA only when a test needs the cheat panel.

After this, just open the launcher whenever you play — it updates everything for you.

🤖 Android

The game installs through a free app called Obtainium, which also keeps it updated — about five minutes, once. (Until The Fortress hits the Play Store.)

  1. Install Obtainium: open the Obtainium releases page on your phone → under Assets tap app-release.apk → open it, allow the install, tap Install.
  2. Add The Fortress: in Obtainium tap Add App.
  3. App source URL: https://github.com/TheFortressGame/builds
  4. Filter APKs by Regular Expression: TheFortressQA-android
  5. Tap Add, then Install.

Updating: open Obtainium, pull down to refresh, tap Update.

🍏 iOS

Not available as an app yet — but you can play free in Safari right now, no install. Native iOS (via TestFlight) is coming later.
