Varför Early Access?

“Here is a list of the main reasons that led us to release the game in early access:

• Creating an RPG with a captivating story and deep characters requires time and care. Early access allows us to develop the world of Alvara at our own pace, taking your feedback into account and refining the narrative experience.
  
• The main mechanics of the game, typical of an RPG, are already in place and offer you rich and engaging gameplay. However, the player's experience is essential, and your feedback allows us to enhance the gameplay.
  
• The world of Alvara is vast and filled with mysteries. Early access allows you to start exploring this world and become familiar with its inhabitants, its history, and its secrets. However, your feedback will help us improve the exploration of the world, clarify points that are still obscure, and ultimately offer the best possible gaming experience.
  
• As an early access player, you have the opportunity to share your impressions and suggestions with us. Your feedback is invaluable and will help us shape the final version of the game, which is essential for us in developing such a game!
