What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We would appreciate feedback from the players during the development in order to fix the detected flaws promptly, as well as to develop the game's community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Several years. We plan to release the full version of one of the eight chapters in 2024, but at this stage, it is difficult to predict how long the production of the rest will take. It may go faster due to the existing materials being reused.”

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

“The full version will include all eight chapters, as well as achievements and DLC with game development details. The game will be translated into more languages.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently there is a Prologue and first day of Destitute Chapter, which takes 3-5 hours to read.”

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

“We plan to keep the game free, but paid DLC with bonus content may be released.”

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

“We always pay due attention to feedback, bug reports and suggestions from players, so feel free to offer your ideas in the discussions!”
