What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Estranged: Arctic Cold is in Early Access because it is a work in progress. Early Access allows incremental updates to the game to be added over time, but also allows players to experience the content developed so far.

Estranged: The Departure was also released into Early Access, which allowed the community to directly follow and contribute to its development over 80 content updates until it was released.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Act I took 3 years to make, The Departure took 6 years to make - since the project is a spare time project for a single developer, you should expect around 6 years for the completion of Arctic Cold (with incremental content updates throughout that time).”

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

“The full version of the game is planned to include a complete story, with more environments and characters, and will provide a much longer playtime. Act I and The Departure include around 2 hours of gameplay, Arctic Cold is aiming to be around this long too. Currently the Early Access version offers around 30 minutes of gameplay.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version offers an early preview of the story, a standalone continuation of The Departure.

Note: since achievements will be added during development, this game is NOT suitable for achievement hunters.”

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

“As the game gains more content, the price will rise until the game is finished and it exits Early Access. The final pricing will likely be similar to The Departure.”

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

“The community will be involved directly using discussion on the forums, update posts and to shape the game's features and future.”
