Why Early Access?

“First, user feedback is crucial in the development process of a complex game like Escape Darkness. Early access provides an opportunity for the game's developers to directly see the expectations and reactions of players and improve the game accordingly.

Secondly, early access games give players the chance to watch the evolution of the game and even contribute to it. This allows players to be involved in the game's development process, leading to a more satisfying experience in the final version of the game.

Finally, games in the horror and thriller genre, such as Escape Darkness, should offer a deep experience in terms of atmosphere and story. Early access allows players to better understand this atmosphere and story and give feedback to the developers, leading to a more immersive experience in the final release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It is difficult to give a clear timeframe for Escape Darkness' early access period. The developers need to do more work and evaluate feedback from players in order to make an accurate estimate of when the game will be ready for full release. Therefore, it would not be accurate to set an end date at this time. However, I can say that the developers will keep players informed by following the process closely and providing regular updates”
