Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«Hardenville will remain in Early Access until the final chapter, Episode 9, is released in late 2025. We are committed to taking the necessary time to incorporate player feedback, even if it means a longer development phase.»

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«Hardenville's full version will contain more extensive content than the Early Access release. Starting with a short intro, The Prologue, the game will continue with planned Episodes 1 to 9, each filled with roughly 1000 images and 25 animations. This means a substantially larger volume of content compared to The Prologue. Additionally, if the story becomes too expansive, it may prompt the creation of a sequel.»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«Purchasing Hardenville during Early Access grants full access to the completed game, including all updates leading up to its release. Once finalized, the game will be offered at a higher price point, reflecting the additional content and polish.»
