What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I would like the game to have fanbase input early in the development process to help curate a game that both fun and fulfilling. Feedback is highly valuable. I hope to make something that surpasses the original expectations from players and stands out in the adult text adventure genre.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in Early Access for as long as necessary, to make sure it is baked just right.”

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

“I plan to add a lot more original artwork, music, plus finish out the story, add post-endgame content, more attention given to bodily changes, additional character interactions with more avenues for seduction, gender swapping for the player character, and better support for resolutions outside of 1920 x 1080.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can customize your look and traits, travel around the campus seducing staff and students with supernatural powers, turn men into femboys or minions, infect people with horny parasitic worms, lower their intelligence, dynamically change the size of genitalia, send them into a sex frenzy, and utilize their skills or connections to help take over the university! You can possess randomly-generated students , steal their varying physical traits, and use them to further your goals. There are branching decision trees, various upgrades to boost your powers, random encounters, and quests.

**UPDATE APRIL 20, 2024**
Here we are about 2 years later! A lot of player-requested features have been added, such as gender swapping, M|M & F|F sex scenes, identity assumption, and more. Some minor changes have cascaded into larger changes, and my original intentions for the game have evolved in such a way that it is currently undergoing a major plot rewrite to better accommodate these changes. As a result of all of this, my original timeline for the game has been thrown off course and I have updated the approximate timeline of the game to reflect my interest in carefully crafting a better experience.

If you are used to playing games in their finished state, please consider adding Artifact to your wishlist!”

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

No.

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

I am counting on community feedback to make the best game possible. I do my best to quickly address any issues from bugs to technical support, and the Discord has some other lovely people who love to help. I am very excited to see how the community will continue to grow!”
