Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

Leaving Early Access: 2027

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Terminus Historia is an RPG built around multiple story routes and player freedom, and we plan to continue expanding the game with additional story content and improvements to its systems.

The Steam release will also mark the first official release of the English version. We chose Early Access so that we can continue refining the English localization, UI, game balance, and other systems based on feedback from both Japanese- and English-speaking players, and further improve the overall quality of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last around one year. However, this may vary depending on the development progress of additional content and the feedback we receive during Early Access.”

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

“The Early Access version already includes multiple major story routes and their branching events, along with the game's core combat, character growth, and exploration systems.

For the full release, we plan to add an additional story route that is not yet implemented, while further refining the existing routes, free-form exploration, game balance, UI, English localization, and other aspects of the game based on feedback received during Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the Black Knights Route, Slum Mercenaries Route, Airship Crew Route, and Wanderer Route (currently in development).

The game already includes its core systems, including branching events based on player choices and actions, party formation with recruitable companions, affinity and romance, Weapon and Magic Proficiency-based character growth, Devil Magic and Sacred Magic, the Monster Spoils system, and actions such as "Fight" and "Steal" when interacting with NPCs.

Each route offers approximately 7-15 hours of playtime, and New Game+ allows certain progress to carry over after completing the game.

The Steam version supports both Japanese and English. We will continue refining and improving the English localization throughout the Early Access period.”

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

“At this time, we do not plan to make a significant change to the base price when the game leaves Early Access. If we decide to revise the price in the future based on additional content or the state of development, we will announce the change in advance.”

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

“We welcome feedback through the Steam Community Hub on bugs, game balance, UI, free-form exploration, and other gameplay systems.

For the English version in particular, we would also appreciate feedback on localization, terminology, and text presentation, and will continue refining these areas based on players' actual experiences with the game.

We will use this feedback to further improve the game as we work toward the full release.”
