What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The goal of releasing an early access build is to give customers a chance to see a work-in-progress version of the final paid game, absolutely free for anyone who would happen to discover and download it. I am committed to continue to work on my product in a different engine than Unity, receive feedback, and see my project through to completion.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The free build of Keylogger will remain in early access until the final build is released, which could take a while to release, anywhere from 2 years to 5 years, but hopefully not longer.”

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

“I plan for the full version to have art, varied music, and varied gameplay elements (ideally) to make it more than just a simple kinetic visual novel, within very reasonable limits.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the Early Access build is every text line set to a box in Unity from beginning to end, backgrounds, chapter stage music, transitions, save/load function, title screen, and the visual novel framework. If I had a percentage estimate, I would say the game is 18% complete. So that's almost 1/4th of the game available for free.”

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

“Only this early access build will be free, while the final version will be paid.”

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

“You can contact me on Twitter, on my website, or on the Steam discussions page. I think most of these links are on the store page as well.”

About This Game

Keylogger is a visual novel about identity theft in a future where losing your information means certain death.

Follow the story of Alsace Morose, a man who was put into insurmountable debt when he was a young boy, and his crew of identity thieves, or "keyloggers," who travel throughout the Continuum in their rocket, the “S.S. Hummingbird,” searching for identities to steal.

The crew of the S.S. Hummingbird is: Quaternine, a normal-looking man who is actually part Temnospondic; Cruce, a fundamentalist Christian whose viewpoints are antiquated in the futuristic Continuum; Akhtempo, a 6’11” New Egyptian who lost his keylog during the RTE; and Galacia, Morose’s girlfriend from Crystallica, who is entirely made of crystal.

The only way they can make ends meet is by selling people out of existence.

Synopsis:


Each person’s family name in the Continuum is given a debt which they must pay back, or they risk being wiped by the Grid. The family debt was instituted to prevent the bankruptcy of the Continuum, which had too much owed to them by the citizens. Once a member of the Continuum turns 16, their debt repayment plan is put into effect.

The keylogs fetch a large price, and can be used to sell the “potential,” so to speak, of each living person, if the keylog can be acquired. That’s where keyloggers come into play. Keyloggers are identity thieves, whose one goal is to obtain keylogs. The main goal of keyloggers is to “dox” and attain the keylogs of people so they can sell them out of existence.



Keylogger is a kinetic sci-fi visual novel spanning 83 chapters, with an additional 88 footnotes for deeper explanation.
