What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Hi, I'm doing an Early Access because the visual novel consists of 16 individual parts, and part 1 should not be held up for years because part 16 is incomplete. I'm a one-person-show, and progress could get slow as the project evolves.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 2-3 years, but hopefully not this long. Writing, artwork, transitions, music, is all being done by me.”

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

“The full version will be the complete story, I won't plan on releasing another part/chapter without it being ready. I'd rather have players play a polished chapter 1 and wait for chapter 2 instead of playing an unpolished and incomplete chapter 1 and 2.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Prologue and Chapter 1 are included.”

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

“The game will be free, until it's more of a complete product. Even if the game is completely finished and polished, I may gradually raise the price up from free, but even then, it will be very affordable by indie game standards.”

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

“I'll be very reachable, and online all the time, and ready for notes, good and bad. I can be reached directly at cyberstation5745@gmail.com for concerns, questions, recommendations, or simply to say hello.”
