Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Three years ago, we shared the alpha build of Escape Purgatory (EP)—and if you were there, you know how far we’ve come! Since then, we’ve been hard at work, fixing bugs, adding new features, and revamping the core gameplay experience. Now, we are entering one year into our beta phase, a significant milestone for Jambit as we continue shaping our debut title. Even in its beta build, EP will be available in early access, a decision we believe is especially crucial for a small indie team like ourselves. Early access allows us to stay closely connected with our players, bringing you along for the journey and letting your feedback shape the game's future. This ongoing interaction is what drives us forward, helping make Escape Purgatory the best it can be, and rewarding early supporters with unique, in-game perks as a thank-you for being part of this experience.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'For Escape Purgatory (EP)'s beta build, we're aiming to be in early access for approximately two to three years. This time frame will allow us to gather player feedback, fine-tune new features, and ensure the game is polished before the full release. Our alpha phase lasted two years, and now one year in our beta phase with all the groundwork we've laid, we're confident this next stage will bring us closer to the full vision we want to share. Thank you for being part of the journey!'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'In the full version of Escape Purgatory (EP), we envision an even more immersive and terrifying experience. Post-beta, players can expect a deeper storyline with expanded lore and additional realms, diving further into the mysteries of limbo and the worlds you must escape. We plan to introduce new, complex puzzles, unique environments, and even more sinister creatures to face. Additionally, the final version will feature enhanced visuals, optimized gameplay mechanics, and refined sound design to maximize the horror atmosphere. Long term looking to add a global leaderboard, new cosmetics, and a multiplayer mode.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The current Early Access version of Escape Purgatory (EP) is in its beta phase. It offers two different realms (maps) each with it's own a puzzle Story Mode, a challenging Survival Mode, unlockable cosmetics, Steam achievements, partial controller support, and a completely rebuilt menu system!

Presently, game developers anticipate players needing anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours for first-time story completion. After the game is fully understood, it can be completed, fully, in under 10 mins. For the speed runners out there, the challenge is on!'
