Miksi Early Access?

"Praecantor Lila ~ Bell Spell" is actively in development, but is far enough along for the its base campaign to be able to be completed on all of its difficulties. The game is missing finalised textures, some out-of-gameplay features such as replays and online highscores, and most bonus content such as Achievement integration. The game will be launching in Early Access to provide players with a fuller game experience beyond the demo version, and for player feedback to be taken into consideration when finalising the release edition of the game.
