What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I'm working on this game full time. Fell in love with the development process while recovering from ankle surgery. Very happy with the progress I've made so far, and I feel that the vision I have for my game will result in a game people love. But at this point in development, it's clearly not a full game. Having Early Access will allow me to set the correct expectations for the current product and allow people to play my game as it progresses with a much smaller investment.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Until Fall 2024”

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

“A fully procedural town that the player's actions have lasting consequences on, a reactive world where non-player characters react to situations differently based on their specific traits, memory, and current situation. Leaving the town better or worse than you found it at anytime to start over again in a newly generated town.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The homes are procedurally generated from a pool of models, the NPC's will wander around the town or their home unless scared by the player. They will then seek cover then run back to their home. The player moves around the map in FP view with a pistol & flashlight. Going to the edge of the map at anytime will generate a new town.”

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

“It will start at 25% of final price, Fall 2023 it will be 50% of final price, where it will remain until full release where price will be 100%.”

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

“Bi-Weekly software updates to the game. Continuous updates on social media of development progress and goals. As well as taking direct feedback to prioritize the features / fixes that are most important for the community.”
