What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We'd always planned to continue development with our community and discord members over the next few months to make a game people really enjoy playing and build something we are not only proud of but have mechanics and concepts we arrive at with the community over time. There is another map and more content planned before we would be happy to consider this worthy of full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We have a timeline to have it in early access until the end of may which is when the additional map and content would be added and enough time to iron out any remaining bugs we find to improve the user experience.”

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

“In the full version, we aim to implement more locations/maps. We are also exploring the development of an additional enemy (Shift Hunter). Controller support is something we would also like to add, along with steam achievements setup and additional bugs resolved. We also plan on having a single player mode with an AI Shift.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We currently have two procedurally generated maps, with multiple escape routes on the primary Mansion map. You can play with all the characters in the game, use their abilities, and play through from start to finish multiple times. We just want to add even more.”

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

“We are considering a small price increase to reflect additional content in the future.”

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

“On Steam, we aim to use the community channels and listen to feedback from support requests and reviews. Outside of Steam, we have a Discord server for community players, streamers on Twitch and YouTube and general fans of the game, which we regularly engage with and discuss new concepts and ideas. Also balancing of the game.”
