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?

“Our goal is to show the element of 'time' not only in the game world, but also outside the game.

The game will be released as a sneak preview, and while the scenery and characters outside the window change over time, the real world beyond the screen will also continue to flow and change. Perhaps the ending of the game after a long wait will be more unique than pressing the "next week/next year" button.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This sneak preview will last from six months to a year, during which time we will continue to add different views and adjust the content for each time period as we receive player feedback.”

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

“The following is the scale of what we plan to achieve in the official release, although we can't guarantee that all items will be realized:
30 animations for each of the 2 existing themes. These will be unlocked as the game progresses and as time passes in the real world.
Add music player tracks.
Ideally, we plan to continue creating the 3 themes of "The Gravekeeper", "Magnificent Landscape", and "In the End, No Shoes" and release them as DLC. These three themes will focus more on story development, so the game mode will also change slightly.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We have completed the sets, animations and music for "The Last Leaf" and "Silhouette of the Neighborhood", and we are still working on the new animations and music.”

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

“We may raise the price slightly, or sell other themes as DLC.”

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

“Initially, we expect to collect player suggestions through the Steam Community forums. Additionally, we've created an easy to fill out system for custom scenery, animations, and animation appearance conditions. The structure will allow creators to easily add content of their own. We look forward to inviting more creators to participate.”

About This Game



"Beyond the Curtains" is a relaxing game about gazing out the window, waiting for interesting moments and delightful surprises. You'll experience the world through the eyes of a room's owner, discovering what lies beyond a single window's frame. Even the fleeting silhouettes of passersby become clues to glimpse into their changing lives. And as time flows by, shifts in the room's interior might just reveal some personal secrets about its mysterious occupant...

Features


As players cycle through day and night, time truly moves forward
And the world outside the window transforms accordingly...



Small changes?

Through simple clicks, you can influence certain events and create subtle changes



Though the room's owner cannot join in, she has always been part of the town's story


● A bright spot in tough times: Maybe your classroom or office doesn't have a window, but this one does—and it's always sunny!
● Take control of time: Use the nap button to advance through different time periods at your own pace, so you never miss a moment.
● Customize your soundtrack: Use the in-room audio device to freely choose your favorite radio station.
● Seamless immersion: Minimal buttons for maximum immersion into the room's atmosphere.
