Why Early Access?

“We love casual puzzle games, and Sweet Dreams Café has been designed from the ground up as a polished, premium experience. What we’ve built is close to being shippable — with 3 full chapters, over 400 levels, and a strong foundation in gameplay and story.

We’re releasing in Early Access to better understand the appetite for this kind of game on Steam, and to invite players to help shape the final chapter of Amira’s journey.

We have one additional chapter mapped out, and Early Access gives us the opportunity to benchmark our narrative, characters, and gameplay with the community. Your feedback will help guide how we move forward toward full release—whether that means refining what’s here or expanding the story further.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Sweet Dreams Café will remain in Early Access while we assess audience interest and gather feedback on Amira’s journey. The scope and shape of future development—including how and when Amira’s narrative concludes—will depend on the feedback we receive. If you’d like to help shape what comes next, please join our Discord or share your thoughts in the Steam Discussions. We’re listening.”

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

“The Early Access version of Sweet Dreams Café includes 3 chapters and over 400 levels, with Amira’s story well underway. We currently have one additional chapter mapped out, which we expect will complete her narrative arc.

Beyond that, we don’t have major updates planned beyond controller support and bugs fixes. However, we’re open to evolving the story, adding new rooms, renovations, and characters—if there’s strong community interest and support.

The final scope of the game will be shaped by player feedback and engagement. We’re listening closely, and your input will help us decide how far we take Amira’s journey.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Core gameplay and visuals are fully refined alongside the narrative. How the narrative evolves and where it goes next is what we are looking to explore alongside uncovering any bugs or issues we haven't seen in our testing. This is our first Steam release so we are learning a lot already.”

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

“Once the game is ready to leave Early Access, we’ll be reevaluating its price point based on all the available content/gameplay and make our decision at that time, the price will likely increase as the game grows in content.”

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

“The community is key to the future development, where the story takes Amira and how the narrative concludes is one of the main reasons for relasing under Early Access. Please join our Discord or leave feedback in Steam Discussions. We’d love to hear your thoughts!”
