What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to make a truly great game, and we believe working directly with our community is the best way to succeed with that. Early Access is a way for us to receive valuable feedback that ensures the quality of the game is up to par, as well as to collaborate with our players on what they want to see in the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 6-8 months.”

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

“The basic functionality of the game will remain pretty much the same, except we want things to be more polished based off community feedback. We also want to add a minigame or two.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state is a single playable level with five different endings, collectables, and various choice options which will impact the world and playstyle throughout the game. You are capable of replaying the level multiple times with different results and endings. Dialog options and choices, a shop, a level up system, and crafting systems are within the current build. We also have a combat system for both fists and other weapons, along with a working health, stamina, and mental bar pool which works. Other features can be found under the 'About This' we elaborate on this further. Currently we plan on further implementing content such as additional voice actors, SFX artists, more playable levels, and much more choices which will have a impact on the game as players progress through it.”

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

“No, we plan to keep the base price of the game as it is.”

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

“The Community will be able to interact and give feedback during early access through our Discord Server, and the Steam forums. These will be checked every day by our staff to answer any questions or feedback needed for the game. We see feedback as a very important aspect throughout the games development as it helps make the game experience such as repairing bugs, adding missions, new features, and much more which helps us deliver the game we and our community wants.”

About This Game



In this action-adventure RPG, take on the role of cybernetic former Freedom Fighter, turned Secret Police Officer, Aeydrien Mason-Northwood. Your goal is to bring stability to the dystopian city-state island of the North Wood and thwart the hybridized, former Secret Police Captain turned Terrorist, Daxter Daemon-Northwood, while keeping your Sanity in check and your Reputation intact.

Sword Of A Villain, Fists Of A Hero

Killing is relatively easy in the North Wood, but it's even harder to just knock someone out for awhile, or talk them out of fighting completely. Ready your sword, fists, or words and combat a variety of enemies, whose death could destroy Aeydrien's Reputation with their Organization, cause far reaching changes to the North Wood as a whole, or even make more enemies appear later on.

You're Made By The Shoes You Wear

Whether it's the pants she wears, or sword piece she upgrades, Aeydrien's attire and equipment will tell the world a lot about her. A strange, naked human wandering the streets is nothing to be worried over, but someone donning the telltale attire of a North Wood Secret Police Officer is another story.

The Unlimiter System

Through the power of advanced cybernetics have Aeydrien break free from her body's natural limitations making her stronger, more durable, and even allowing her to slow down her perception of time. Be warned, however, pushing Aeydrien's body too far might result in injuries that even she can't heal from.

What A Strange And Bizarre Ultra Future

In the far flung future, there are only Nyims. Cocoons have allowed people to shed their humanity and become Animal-Human hybrids, Cybernetics keep alive that which should be dead, and the left over biomass is converted into a worker Zapper, while all being watched over by the North Wood Government and their Representatives. Law and order kept by the Secret Police, with you as one of their Captains.

Every Death Makes You Weaker

Death is something that Aeydrien has started to grow intimately familiar with in her older age. Though, lucky for her, the medical bills are covered by the state, and with so little meat left on her bones maintenance is mostly mechanical. Unluckily for her, and you, death is not the end.

Awkward To A Fault

A woman of few words, or perhaps someone who just doesn't like to speak, Aeydrien is limited in how many Interactions she's able to have in a single sitting, with a single person. Interaction Points are few and far between, so choose your words wisely.

Talk To God

From a young age Aeydrien has had a special relationship with the capital G, God, or the Waandishi as they refer to themselves, providing her aid when she needed it most, or maybe just pushing her down the path He wanted her down. Such wisdom taking form as her own voice speaking to her, at first, but now appearing as glowing marks that only she can see.

The Life Of An Addict

Each life you take, takes its toll on Aeydrien's dwindling Sanity forcing her to self medicate through the herbal remedy known as Blue Leaf or deceptively addictive and stimulating Java. Or, perhaps, for a short time you'll let Aeydrien tap into her inner maniac and inject Red Salt, blinding you to her health, but allowing her to attack at nearly double her strength.

Actions Have Consequences

Whether it be stealing the light from a lantern, choosing to leave your sword behind for more peaceful solutions to conflict, or deciding you'd rather heal than buy that fancy new armor, every decision you choose to make, big or small, will have an impact on gameplay and the story.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

While generally light hearted in tone, the game possesses a lot of political satire, characters engage in vulgar / offensive language almost constantly, use illicit drugs, and there are occasional, non-graphic sex scenes between humans and humans, as well as humans and nonhuman characters. This game also contains light themes of suicide.
