Why Early Access?

“Other Ocean has released games into Early Access before and our experience of getting the community engaged in development was great.

We received a lot of invaluable feedback and suggestions from players that helped shape Project Winter into the social deception cult experience it became.

Now we want to repeat that by giving our community a chance to tell us which mechanics they love, which ones they don’t, and what they would like to see changed or improved. We’re always eager to hear about new ideas from the players that we can implement as we continue to develop the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to release The Walking Dead: Betrayal in Q1 2024, however, this may change depending on community feedback as we implement changes, features, and generally progress through Early Access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of the game is planned to have new features including new map tiles, game modes, objectives, escapes, world events, cosmetics, and roles. We will also be considering any feedback we receive from the community during Early Access.

All that content will be added to the game in the form of regular Content Updates. Apart from those updates, we’re planning to release any necessary patches and fixes as we progress through EA.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the time of launching into Early Access, you will be able to play up to 8-player online multiplayer matches in a setting inspired by The Walking Dead universe with rotating map tiles, 2 world events, one escape and objective, 8 roles, and a variety of cosmetics, character customization options, weapons, resources, and craftable items.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No, the price will stay the same.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Our primary source of feedback is our Discord server where we communicate with our players directly. Our Community Managers take great care of looking through the suggestions, questions, and any feedback we get, and provide the Dev team with actionable points.

Additionally, we will pay attention to any discussions happening on Steam and across our social channels to get the full picture of our player’s needs.”
