What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early access was chosen to collect early feedback and suggestions, and give the people who wanted a game like Dement some content to enjoy on their VR headsets.
There is a narrative break between Chapter 4 and 5, so releasing Chapters 1-4 early made sense. That way, early access players would be able to voice their concerns and still have the opportunity to enjoy a large portion of the game, fresh, with their concerns addressed.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Until the game is done.
Development of a new majorly overhauled version is taking a long time. I deeply and sincerely apologize for the delay.”

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

“The current version has Chapters 1-4, the full version will have 8 chapters.

Additionally, a major update that remakes the game to better support the current VR standards with improved story telling, interactions, graphics, and environments with full body physics is planned and currently in active development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version currently consists of Chapters 1-4 which includes:

An assortment of melee weapons and one-handed firearms.
An open world with secrets to discover and fast travel points to unlock.
History and lore to unravel.
Side quests to complete with rewards that will increase survivability.
Many hours of content (check Steam review play times!)

”

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

“Currently, the price is not planned to increase when leaving early access.”

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

“Community suggestions and feedback have directly influenced this game's development, and will continue to be considered earnestly.”

About This Game

The town of Wolfvale has many secrets. Located in a mountainous region of Washington, the people are generally pleasant and kind. However, in the small neighboring town of Quiet Mountain, a girl living with her father has seen what lies beneath the mask.

Lily.

She isn't popular at school. She doesn't have many friends. Her home is not as safe as a home should be, especially since her adopted older sibling Ash has moved out. Despite everything, she is a cheerful girl with an upbeat and caring personality. At least until she realized she is being followed - by an individual, and an organization. Perhaps the two are related? Lily can't say for certain, but she knows she isn't safe.

She is to move in with Ash in the friendly Twin Elms Apartments, seated on the edge of the town of Wolfvale. She visits often. She is unknowingly visited often.

In the woods of Quiet Mountain, the organization that is following her is sworn to defend against the darkness of these woods. It seeps into the lives of all who dwell within the towns of Quiet Mountain and Wolfvale. They can see a darkness growing around her.

The lone individual, Taylor, follows Lily as well... but for more nefarious purposes. Obsession. Desire. A want to belong in her life.

Lily is taken. The world is a darker place now, and the people are not as kind as they once were....

A mysterious book, a missing girl, and corrupted creatures all intertwine into a dark adventure to recover someone you love.
In a world twisted by unknown forces, reality is only what you perceive it to be.
