“For about another year, depending on how things go.”

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

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All of the core gameplay features and mechanics are implemented - please refer to the "About This Game" section in the game description for more detailed information. Overall the game is fully playable as originally intended.

The main things left todo are to incorporate any new gameplay features that the players recommend and feel strongly about, fix any bugs that crop up, polish the gameplay (to make it as smooth as possible), and add in the remaining game content (see above).”

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

About This Game

Datura Time - Unleash Your Heroic Potential in a Retro-3D, Eastern European-Inspired Alternate Reality!

Datura Time is a third-person action-adventure game that catapults you into a realm swirling with mystery, suspense, and dynamic action. This captivating world is a tribute to the 90's console games era, handcrafted with love and passion by a single-developer, Vladeta Stojanovic, with an infusion of post-Soviet and Eastern European aesthetics.

You, the player, are plunged into an enigmatic alternative reality known as the "Zone" after an accidental encounter with a peculiar drug - "Datura". Here, you'll cross paths with a host of characters, some allies, some foes, all delivering a singular message - you are an outsider and the unfolding reality is more than meets the eye.

As you navigate this perilous world, you'll unravel the Zone's hidden truths - it's a metaphysical limbo, home to the souls of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, currently under the control of malevolent entities. This sinister realm is in desperate need of a true hero - a role YOU never expected but must now embrace. Your mission? Survive, defeat the wicked forces, restore balance, and return home.
