Field notes
The page distinguishes private playtest reports, which it says go only to the developer, from reviews published with a player's username. It says every job shows its pay, expected playtime, and deadline before acceptance, and players may skip some offers without penalty. Steam playtime is checked automatically; for other platforms, players provide a screenshot that the team reviews.
