Why Early Access?

“To answer that question, here is one for you: Have you ever before played a procedurally-generating mystery simulation? It's a genre-changing experience unlike any other. Early access players not only enjoy the freshest experience, they can contribute feedback to unchartered story-gaming territory. Want to know a secret? If you've
read this far, you've just proven the point.
You are a master investigator. Now: LET'S SOLVE A MYSTERY!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Awwww.
That is so nice of you to ask!
Presently the exact release date for version 1.0 is undetermined, it's estimated one year out from Early Access release. Full Edition's release partially depends on the scope of work. This is set by refining player community interests and the variability of implementing user-generated workshop content.
In other words: Looking forward to seeing you solve some mysteries!”

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

“Based on player interests, these features are planned for likely enhancement:

More control in Relationship Agreements
Future Scenario Storyline chapters
Career advancement in job Roles
Detail in parties and events with NPCs
More interactions and events in the player character home”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

Interact with procedurally generated mysteries, parties, and life events
Fully-detailed personality attributes and family trees
Build a variety of relationships with NPCs

Level-Editor for the town scene”

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