What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to provide much more Loch Ness content and an Early Access release will help us, as a small team of recently graduated students, sustain development for longer and create better content.

We also want to involve players and the community in our next steps to create the best game for them we can.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Loch Ness will likely be in Early Access until Q1 of 2022, but this is dependant on player feedback and satisfaction.”

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

“We intend for the full version to be generally more polished and more replayable, including additional content like:
  • At least 2 new Nessie types to contend with, based on alternative explanations of sightings (e.g. a giant eel)
  • Completely new AI behaviours and abilities for these new Nessie types
  • At least 2 new tools corresponding to the new Nessie variations
  • Unlockable difficulty modes to keep day one players engaged

We also strongly welcome any feedback on our social media and community channels and hope to implement many community ideas.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The initial Early Access release features all the core mechanics, including:
  • Online Multiplayer
  • In-game Voice Chat
  • Evocative Rowing Gameplay
  • Unique Water Based Horror
  • Character Customization
  • One Nessie Type with reactive AI
  • AI Director creating procedural, escalating scares
  • Randomly Generated Nessie Locations
  • The main set of tools - Sonar, Audio Detector, Flare Gun, Thermometer, Underwater Camera etc.
  • Unlockable Cosmetics

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

“The game will not change in price after its full release.”

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

“We vehemently welcome any players to join our community on Discord and our other social media channels to give us direct feedback, but we will also be very receptive to feedback in reviews.

Loch Ness is very much a game by and for the community, with even the base Early Access version being shaped directly by player feedback. We hope to make the full game something the community is completely satisfied with and absolutely welcome any suggestions.”

About This Game

Loch Ness is a 1-4 Player Co-Op Horror Hunter where you play as disgraced researchers hoping to prove once and for all what you have always known; the Loch Ness Monster exists. You and your team must navigate the precarious waters, hunt for Nessie’s feeding ground and lay bait to lure her out. But be careful, for lurking deep beneath the lake is a creature more ancient than all mankind…





Gather a team of friends, strangers or play solo and set upon the lake in your ramshackle rowboats. Use real life Nessie hunting equipment like the DNA Scanner, Sonar and Underwater Camera to gather the evidence you need to conclusively prove the Loch Ness Monster exists. Will you play it safe, collect your samples and flee before you anger the ancient horror, or will you stick it out, bravely bait the monster out, and gather the most concrete evidence with only a flare gun for protection?





  • Character Customization - Create your own Nessie hunter, customizing their appearance to express your creativity or show off your achievements with unlockable cosmetics
  • Water-based Horror - Whether fighting against the waves to keep afloat, or probing the murky depths of Nessie's realm, you must contend with the most powerful force of nature to survive
  • Replayability - Randomized Nessie locations and an AI Director working behind the scenes ensure every game is a unique experience
  • Scoring System - Acquiring more conclusive proof and with quicker times will net you a better score, unlocking unique cosmetics and eventually new difficulty modes and monster types
  • Immersive, realistic graphics - Hand crafted 3D assets alongside the latest Unreal Engine 4 technology truly immerse you in the harrowing atmosphere of the Loch
