Why Early Access?

“We created Whisper of the Swallows to deliver a unique experience, blending survival, poetry, and mystery.
The roadmap is already complete, but we need to ensure that players truly enjoy living this adventure.
Halfway through development, it is therefore essential for us to involve the community in balancing and evolving the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Around 18 months.
Alongside gameplay improvements, we will gradually add the remaining regions, new creatures, and side quests before the full release.”

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

“The full release will feature:
- Refined and balanced gameplay thanks to community feedback
- Additional regions to explore and a complete narrative arc”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes:
- Two complete regions: Unshū and Jukaï, fully playable
- All core mechanics: survival, crafting, building, combat, portals, and quests
- 20 to 30 hours of content to fully explore and complete these two regions
- Procedurally generated worlds, ensuring high replayability”

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

“Yes. The price will be lower during Early Access and will increase as the game grows closer to its full release.”
