Coming Soon To Early Access

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Midwest 90's core experience is ready and in place. Early Access will allow us to better understand how players engage with the game, providing essential feedback to shape future development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan is six months. We have a timeline prepared and milestones to reach.”

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

“The full release is planned to include new narrative chapters, more monsters and dishes, and a deeper policy and reputation system.

Throughout Early Access, we plan to release new chapters of the story in major milestones alongside minor updates for new monsters, dishes, and further refinement of existing systems.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version features the core gameplay loop, the Prologue, and Chapter 1 of the story. After completing this story content, players are free to continue to play the tycoon and tower defense elements in Endless Mode.”

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

“There will be a minor lift in price upon full release.”

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

“We want all the feedback we can get. We will collect ongoing feedback from Reddit, Discord, social media, reviews, and Steam community commentary.

We are especially interested in feedback on balance, simulation, core gameplay, characters, narrative, and polish.”

About This Game

Midwest 90: Rapid City is a tycoon simulation about running a business under extreme pressure.

Every system connects. Every decision has consequences.

Defend Your Investment

Text reads 'Defending the Restaurant'
