Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’re launching Highreach in Early Access to give players the chance to be part of its development journey. The game already has a lot of content, but we want to make sure it meets the quality we and you expect before we add even more. Early Access gives us the opportunity to refine the gameplay, introduce new features, and ensure that the game lives up to the expectations of our community. We truly value player feedback, and your input will play a crucial role.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We cannot say for certain, but with current extrapolated timings we estimate that it will be in Early Access for approximately 2 years. This gives us enough time to add additional content, polish the gameplay, and introduce new features before the full release.”

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

“The full version will include more content and features. We plan to deliver the full storyline, additional chapters, new building tiers, new skills, and four to five unique biomes. Each biome will bring its own challenges, progression, story, enemies, and rewards. The progression system will also be expanded, along with other exciting features that we’ll be revealing over time.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently the game includes two biomes, complete with associated content and story. Most of the core features are in place, and the game is already playable in single- and multiplayer. You can craft and find over 150 items (armor, weapons, food, etc.), discover over 80 unique points of interest, build more than 200 different structures, and rescue 5 companions with their own stories and 5 different assignable jobs. Additionally, there are 3 combat specializations available. We are continuously working to expand and refine these features until the full launch.”

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

“At this time, we have no plans to change the price of Highreach when we leave Early Access.”

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

“We’re all about community input! The best way to share your feedback and ideas is through our Steam forums or our Discord. We’re excited to hear from you about gameplay, balance, features, and anything else on your mind as we continue to build Highreach together. We’ll be actively listening to your suggestions and feedback, especially on features we have planned but haven’t developed yet.”

About This Game

Step into the lost world of Highreach, a once-great continent now fractured and floating under a veil of ancient, dangerous magic that alters the very fabric of reality.

Along the way, you'll meet companions with unique stories, manage your growing community, and embark on personal quests that shape your journey.

Your settlers will help with tasks like crafting, cooking, and gathering, making survival more manageable. Assign tasks to settlers, manage buildings, and expand your camp. Be sure to meet the needs of your settlers. Proper homes and the right jobs will keep them more than happy to help you on your journey.

Survivors you meet come with their own backstory and personal experiences here in Highreach. Bring them to your encampment and drive the narrative forward with their personal quests.
