Why Early Access?

“I'm literally one guy creating this game and I would love to create it with a living community.
The game is all about a person isolated alone with an AI creating mad events for the player. First prototypes showed that it can be very random and Early Access can not only help with the randomness but also mark worse events, which should be redesigned or cut out.
Don't worry, I won't publish semi-random wild AI in a single room with a player, I want there to be clear objectives, an ending, a great vibe of isolation and I can't stress it enough - algorithm slowly building tension in time, keeping the player on the edge with sound effects, events, expectations of horror where there's nothing scary and a little of jump scares”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I can't put a hard date on the final release, but I think 6 to 9 months.
If the game will need more time, then I will just sit there and work more on it.”

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

“Full version is going to be a closed project with a proper ending. I want the game to be handled by a simple AI algorithm building tension, but at the same time, I don't want it to be random. When this system is balanced the game will get an ending which should be also handled by this algorithm. At the final release, the game should be a unique experience controlled by simple AI turning it to be different for every player and hopefully, for every new run.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the game has a basic loop and an algorithm which tries to build tension in time. There's no final ending, but he vibe and experience are here. It's not closed beta, but I want to finish all the mechanics before the Early Access release.”

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

“No. I don't have a big picture full metal business strategy. I will put a price on my work, and if you feel like it's too much then wait for a sale.”

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

“I want the community to take an active part in the process. I would love some videos and reactions. After publishing early prototype I've got some awesome feedback which pointed me in the right direction. I want more of it in the future. I have a head full of ideas but I know that most of them are not that good and community would be the best thing to help sort good ideas from mediocre ones.
You can use SteamHub to present your feedback and ideas, or just send them via email, I will read all of them!

Listen, I'm here, sitting with my laptop in my free time doing this project. I asked my wife, she said that I can if I want to, and I'm doing it. If you want to be a part of that, then you're welcome, come and sit with me, write me some feedback, or some ideas, or if you must, just criticize my work.”
