Why Early Access?

“We want to make a fun, approachable game for roguelite fans and folks who've never played a game in the genre. Roguelites can take time to properly balance, so we want to gauge interest and get player feedback along the way.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in early access for 6-10 months.”

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

“Early Access will have the full experience of the rogue-lite loop, including the labyrinth run, NPC interaction, plot cutscenes, and getting upgrades. The Labyrinth has 4 biomes, each with unique monsters and bosses. Most of the main features will be in the game, though needing some polish and balancing, and a tangible storyline will be mostly finished.

By the full release, we plan to about double the number of rooms rooms, monsters, traps, bosses, and powers that are in the Early Access, as well as add content like a fishing minigame (because all great games have a fishing minigame). We will be finishing out the story and making an epilogue, as well as adding in side content with various characters and minigames for those who want more challenge or are completionists. We plan for the full game’s main story to be 15-20 hours long.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As of writing this, we are working on patch V.5, with Early Access planning to be V.6.
The game has all the main features programmed, but still needs to have a lot of content put in.
A lot of V.5 is adding more rooms and monsters. Currently the game is playable for a few hours and still seeing new content, but we want people to really feel that “one more time” feeling for a while. This version also will add more cutscenes and general character dialogue, as currently there is only the intro.

Most of V.6 will just be getting in enough polish to design and art, as well as user quality of life before making the game public, such as a good options menu and the ability to remap controls.

As for the narrative, it’s only touching the surface of what is to come. You’ll know the plot and meet most characters, but the ending and several rival character arcs will not be fully fleshed out until launch.”

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

“If we create additional content and features, then we will consider a small price increase.”

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

“We would love to continue engaging with our community online and fixing bugs based on feedback. We’re a small group of devs, but will be active on social media, Steam Community forums, and our Discord Server.”
