Why Early Access?

“As an avid fan of interactive adventure story games, this is a new attempt to build on the traditional interactive adventure story games, which we would like to call an interactive Drama.

Unlike traditional interactive adventure story game, we have made more reference to movies and dramas in terms of narrative rhythm, camera performance, character building and plot laying, hoping to bring players some fresh feelings in terms of immersion. At the same time, in terms of gameplay, we are also trying to gradually add a combat system, from simple to rich to gradually try out various combat experiences that can be introduced in interactive puzzle and interactive novel game products.

Because of these micro-innovation attempts that we have made and will continue to add in the future, we hope that the game will continue to get sufficient feedback from players during the development process to understand what kind of comments players have on some of the designs that we have made.

At the same time, we have designed a lot of main and branch characters for the game, and according to the continuous advancement of the product plot, we also hope to see the players' reactions to these characters instantly, and produce more rich communication with players both inside and outside the game.

Independent development is not easy, since we have chosen this path, we are of course ready to take all kinds of risks and pay for the psychological preparation, but any little bit of support from the players can give us the greatest encouragement. We are sincerely waiting for your feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game's early access status lasts about a year to a year and a half, and we will maintain a constant state of updates and active interaction with our players.”

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

“Currently to be on the shelves of the early access version is a 1.5 hours ~ 2.5 hours of game time version, including the game's plot and world view laid out, some of the main characters appearances and character performance shaping, the most basic puzzle play and the most basic combat gameplay. In the future versions, we plan to accomplish the following.

1. appearances of about 50 or so characters, including the stories, performance shaping, interactions, etc. belonging to them.
2. the launch of 8 to 10 chapters with more than 15 hours of complete episodic experience.
2. the expansion and upgrading of the game's puzzle gameplay as the plot progresses.
3. the expansion and upgrading of the game's combat gameplay as the plot progresses.
4. the addition and enrichment of casual gameplay, including props, collection, synthesis, etc.
5. the cultivation of the character's emotional line, and the laying of branch lines.

We have been in the development process for a relatively long period of time, in which we have completed the framework planning and design work including the complete script, most of the character design scenario design, technical testing of subsequent gameplay upgrades, and so on. The vast majority of the work being done is productive, so the risk of accomplishing these goals is not big. However, because we are an independent studio with a super small number of people, the production work will continue for some time, but, in any case, we will strictly control the quality and do our best to bring you the best experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As an early access version, this is a 1.5~2.5 hours game experience version, including the game's plot and world view laid out, some of the main characters appearances and character performance shaping, the most basic puzzle play and the most basic combat gameplay.

In fact, before this version, we had already done several versions with different expressions based on our script and design vision, each of which was also 1.5~2 hours long. However, taking into account the game experience, the expressiveness of the art style, and the risk of realizability of the full version, we finally settled on this presentation and this basic framework after many attempts. We believe that this is a more mature consideration and can be responsible for the launch of the full version.”

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

“As a token of our appreciation for your kind support during the early access version, our pricing for the early access version is about 30% to 40% off the full version. To be honest, we are very grateful for your support during the early access version, and we sincerely want to offer more commitment to this group of players. Only, we do have limited financial strength at the moment, and there is no way to boast about what we can give you in addition to this discount. However, if you have any interesting ideas, we will consider giving some kind of different experience to the users of the early access version in the game without spoiling the game experience and if the technology is achievable in the future. We will try our best to communicate with you even if it is inconvenient for us to implement the ideas.”

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

“We are an independent studio, so we are really independent and open, and we are very willing to discuss all aspects of the game with you. However, in order to ensure the smooth launch of the full version, we will definitely give priority to not breaking the framework and atmosphere of the game in the process of absorbing everyone's suggestions, and also based on our own technical ability to achieve one by one, so everyone's suggestions may not always be adopted, I believe you can understand. In all fairness, as game developers, we are of course very ambitious for the product, there are too many things we want to add and too many ideas we want to realize, but in the process of development, based on various considerations, we still make a lot of selections and trade-offs. However, the road is made by walking, as long as we keep walking on the ground, we believe that what we dare not imagine today can be realized one day in the future. Therefore, we sincerely look forward to all kinds of suggestions, even if it is just a general chat with friends, perhaps with the development progress continues to advance, as well as communication with everyone continue to communicate, many things that dare not think, will slowly be realized.”
