Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„We’re a small two-person studio building The Dead Roam Free with guts, coffee, and too much love for old pixel horror. The core of the game is already there — the zombie-snake mechanic, the story, and the atmosphere — but we want to shape the next chapters together with players.

Early Access lets us test new levels, balance puzzles, and fine-tune the horde-growing chaos based on real feedback instead of guesses. We’re also developing the story episodically, so it makes sense to share it bit by bit while we keep adding content and polish.

In short, we want to make sure the game stays as fun, weird, and un-dead as possible — and we’d love your help doing it.”

Mniej więcej jak długo gra będzie w fazie wczesnego dostępu?

„We plan to stay in Early Access for around 6–12 months.
That gives us enough time to add new chapters, features, and the occasional surprise monster without turning into zombies ourselves.”

Czym różni się zaplanowana pełna wersja od tej z wczesnego dostępu?

„We plan to include the following
• Additional level environments, hazards, and puzzle mechanics
• More additions like steam achievements and power-ups
• A full soundtrack, more gore (the classy kind), and bonus secrets
• Overall balancing, visual polish, and bug-exorcising

Basically, Early Access is the B-movie cut — the full release will be the cult classic.”

Jaki jest obecny stan wersji z wczesnego dostępu?

„The current build includes:
• The complete first episode with all puzzle levels
• Core zombie-snake mechanics (growing your horde, eating humans, avoiding bullets)
• Full controller and keyboard support
• Music, sound effects, and all the blood you could reasonably want

It’s fully playable from start to finish, but we’re still fine-tuning difficulty, pacing, and performance.”

Czy cena gry ulegnie zmianie podczas i po wczesnym dostępie?
