What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We decided to do Early access so that we could include the community's input as we continue development on the game. We're hoping this approach can reduce development time and massively increase the game's viability”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in early access for approximately 6 months. During that time there are 3 core priorities:
  • Improving the game loop mechanics for maximum tension
  • Expanding the types of environments available as you navigate the maze
  • Increase the number of different creatures that will haunt you

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

“In the full version of the game we plan to have the creatures and environments further flushed out based on input from the community and play testers.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game includes all the core movement mechanics and tools, Creature AI, and full game loop.”

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

“The price will increase along with major updates. We currently have 3 major updates planned and then full release.”

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

“We plan to include the community by listening to forum feedback on creature encounters and how to improve the game loop. We will consider all suggestions put forth by the community in the forums and on twitter.”
