Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows me to build Höll Space as an episodic game where each episode features one character's story in the same universe. You can play the separate episodes as they get developed as standalone stories and the final version once all are ready where all of them are interconnected. Some episodes are prequels and sequels to others, allowing for the same game session character and progress to be transferred between some of them. The new episodes reveal more aspects of the game and new perspectives into the universe of Höll Space. You can experience and support the game and its universe during its creation.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The first story arc features six episodes. The game will stay in early access until those episodes wrap up and conclude in the first season's final. The first episode is good to go. Each subsequent episode will take between 2 and 4 months to build, putting the Early Access conclusion duration at about 15 months.”

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

“The full version of the game will feature all episodes of the first season, which can have some interconnected plot points and events that conclude with different outcomes depending on which of the characters the player chooses to employ in the finale.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The first episode is fully playable in a work-in-progress stage, featuring most core game mechanics and the RPG System.”

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

“The price of the game will increase every time an episode gets completed until the game reaches its full price, with all episodes of the season in their final state.”

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

“One developer creates, for now, the entirety of Höll Space. The Community is welcome to help with testing and reporting bugs and problems. The stories told, the gameplay universe, the content of the episodes, and the narrative is already established and planned. Feedback and suggestions regarding improvement of gameplay systems can take Community suggestions into account to improve the experience. However, Höll Space is not meant to be simple to beat, players who expect tutorials or an easy mode will not find such a thing in this game.

Depending on the success of the game, there could be potential support for modding added after the completion of the first season to enable the Community to modify the current game and even add new episodes.”
