Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«DON'T SCREAM isn't just another horror game. Our big dream is to make it the most unforgettable and spine-chilling experience for you. What you see now in the Early Access is just the beginning. So, what can you expect in the full version?

• Scarier Scares: We're not just adding more scares but making each one count. We want to get under your skin, making you feel the suspense and tension, not just a quick jump scare.
  
• Deeper Game Lore: Ever wonder why things in the Forest are the way they are? You'll get to dive deep into the lore and uncover hidden mysteries.
  
• More to Do: We're adding optional tasks for those who like extra challenges.
  
• Achievements & Cards: Show off your bravery with Steam Achievements and Trading Cards.
  
• Game in Your Language: We know our fans are from all over the world. That's why we're working on translating the game into different languages.
  
• Play It Your Way: Whether you like using a keyboard, mouse, or controller, we've got you covered.
  
• Discover New Places: The forest isn't just trees. Expect new landmarks and structures to explore, each with its own tale.
  
• Better Performance: While we are limited in how much we can optimize the game in Unreal Engine 5 without compromising the intended visual fidelity, we are working hard to ensure the game runs as smoothly as possible for everyone.

And that's just a taste! We have a lot more in store.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«The current version has the microphone feature implemented and working. Most of the crucial gameplay mechanics are implemented, such as dynamic scares but will keep evolving and being further refined as the game is being developed. For further details read the "About This" section.

However, remember this isn't the finished product. As with any Early Access title, you might encounter some bugs. We're committed to fixing these, especially with your invaluable feedback. By purchasing and playing during Early Access, you're not just buying a game; you're partnering with us in its creation. We're building this experience together, and while that's a thrilling journey, there might be a few bumps (or bugs) along the path.

Thank you for your understanding and being a vital part of our game's development!»
