What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Remember the last time you baked some cookies, a batch of brownies, or some mouth watering bacon? Yeah, let's go with bacon. Remember when you started salivating from the smell slowly wafting into your welcoming nostrils? Remember when you went to check on the bacon and it was still partially uncooked, a little pink, and the timer still had 10 minutes to go? 10 Minutes!!! Remember how long those 10 minutes were? It was absolutely agonizing. But wait - what if some of the bacon was ready immediately? You paid for it already, why do you have to wait longer!? What if you could go to the market and buy a pack of bacon, which comes with another pack of freshly cooked bacon!?
What I'm getting at here is that although all of the bacon hasn't finished cooking yet, you can get a taste of what you've bought, and oh god does it taste amazing.

In all seriousness, Early Access will provide our fans, Kickstarter backers and pre-purchase customers to try out the game in an unfinished state while giving us an opportunity to generate more funding. It will be a great tool for taking account of customer suggestions and ideas throughout the rest of the development process. Although much of the game is finished, the later stages of the main storyline and many of the sandbox elements are not yet fully cooked.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in Early Access for at least 2 months, and up to 7 months.”

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

“The Early Access version of the game will include the first half of the game. Considering it is an RPG, it wouldn't make sense for the whole story to be released as that would defeat the purpose of playing a story-based RPG.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“This Early Access version is in a late beta stage, with most programming finished. Many art assets and later parts of the game are not finished.”

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

“The game will be priced the same.”

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

“Generally, the community will be able to communicate with us through Steam to offer suggestions, comments, and direct us to bug fixes. After establishing communication with any specific individual, we'll continue to talk to make sure the issue is resolved or otherwise taken into account.”

Early Beta Access

Welcome to Early Access! For those of you jumping right in, keep a few things in mind:

Controls are strictly keyboard or controller. Mouse support is available for most menus.
Achievements and Trading Cards will be implemented soon!
Many areas are unavailable off the path of the main storyline.
There's about a 10% chance of an error occurring after saving or loading. The save file is still fine.
Throughout development we'll constantly add more content, improvements and patches.
We're planning on allowing restricted access to certain areas to test out mechanics and minigames.
We're a small team so we may not get to everyone's questions or concerns. We will be reading everything though.

About This Game

When was the last time you played a game, any game really, where you walked into someone's home, nonchalantly opened drawers, cabinets, picked locks, upturned a bed and talked to the freaking homeowner in hopes of finding something you could loot? Oh, right before this game? Yeah I thought so. Aside from more humble games like Skyrim, where you had to steal items instead of taking them, every game that has item management lets you play the bad guy without being the bad guy.

Let me tell you something: NPCs hate your guts, they just can't say it to your face! Just cleared a forest of roving bandits? Well they were the only ones keeping a population of meerkats in check. The local farms can't keep them at bay and you've just triggered the worst national food shortage in the past decade. Good job, hero! I think it's time for some payback.

You Are Not The Hero is a 2D Action Platform RPG that ditches the battle system to focus on richer RPG gameplay elements. Instead of playing a traditional hero that saves the world, you're playing a bystander swept into the affairs of heroes and villains alike.

You play as Petula, an unemployed, emotionally charged, ill-tempered, otherwise average young woman. With the royal army hot on their heels, the heroes have made their way to your village where they begin scavenging for supplies in everyone's homes. After you confront them for stealing your pendant, they rush off to continue their quest, giving you a quest of your own to retrieve it.
