Miksi Early Access?

We believe that Shadow Falls is currently in a state that is enjoyable and visually stunning. Shadow Falls is in a near complete state, but there are some questions we need answered regarding the game pace, difficulty, character abilities and finding that perfect balance of "just right" when it comes to the horror elements. Your feedback would be most valuable in bringing the game to it's true potential.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We plan to have the game in early access for approx. 6 months. We feel that the feedback from the player base would aid us in polishing the final game to a state that pleases us and the players.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

We have spent months writing the story of Shadow Falls, so naturally we need the gameplay to do the story justice and tell it in the most immersive way possible, like we saw it for the first time in our mind's eye when the game was born. We want the game to be driven by it's rich story telling and have the highest possible quality of cinematics and immersive quality. These things take time and we need to consider any feedback from our players and make adjustments accordingly. The final state of Shadow Falls may contain all the planned cutscenes, voice lines, and animations which form part of the overall game design. We may also revisit the game thread optimization process to have the game run even better for a smooth experience on older systems.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The game is playable throughout all of the beautifully hand crafted levels. There are puzzles to solve that enables progression throughout the game stages, as well as NPC entities that will be sure to test your resolve. There are some technical hurdles we are yet to overcome regarding the game save and load system, however it is implemented and functional to a useable state. There are also voice lines, music, cinematics and ambient sounds that heighten suspense.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.
