Why Early Access?

“I've recently shifted to working on this game full-time as a solo developer.

I want to move to releasing polished bits of the game at a time. Early Access allows me to get direct feedback from players about the story, the art, and any bugs or issues that might be present. Although the main story is already outlined, I always love to hear feedback from players, and to build a stronger game alongside my community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6-8 months.

I'm currently planning on releasing the game early 2026, to allow for unexpected issues or larger changes. If things go smoothly, the game could release later this year, but expect 2026.”

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

“The full game is projected to have ~20 hours of gameplay and roughly 200.000 words.

The Early Access build will gradually be updated to come closer and closer to those numbers. However, the entire story will only be released in the full version.

Additionally, while more art, music and voice acting will be included in Early Access updates, a larger pass and update will happen before release. So the most extensive version will only be available after launch.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version is a direct continuation of the Extended Demo, and represents 6 hours of gameplay. This includes more story for all routes, as well as new art and music.”

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

“I plan to gradually increase the price as I add new content leading up to release.

Each major update to the Early Access version will slowly bring the price closer to the release price.”

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

“It is important to know that the outline for the entire story has already been written. This will not change majorly.

However, I do plan on gathering feedback on the romance routes, places people want to see more art or CGs, or points the story should expand on.”
