What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We're developing this openly and transparently, sharing regular updates as a way to engage and reward new players for joining our community. As part of this, we are encouraging players to have an active part in the creative feedback process.
As a short, simple, minimalist game, Dream of the Star Haven is perfectly suited to making rapid changes based on player feedback”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“2 years”

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

“The core gameplay mechanics will remain the focus, and we'll aim to simply build on those - adding more levels, and more puzzle mechanics as we go, but always intending to keep the game as simple and accessible as possible. Once we hit our target amount of levels and hours-of-gameplay, we'll then focus on polishing the best qualities!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All the features listed in the "About This Game" section are fully implemented including rich first person traversal, the core triple-leap gameplay, discovering energy gems and using them to scan for treasures, and the gravity-rotation mechanic.

Approximately one-third of the game is complete and playable as fully realized levels. As a short-ish game, we're keeping the scope simple and so we're aiming for the completed version to be around 5-10 hours long (including all secrets and collectibles)”

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

“We've already transitioned from a free to a paid game, and plan on one additional small price increase at the end of early access”

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

“Our Discord server here will be the primary way our community can communicate to us and with each other, and we'll be uploading updates to the game approximately weekly, and chatting about them with the Discord community - including hearing their feedback, feature requests, etc”

About This Game

You wake up nowhere, with no body.

In fact, less than that,

You feel all the different parts of yourself have been torn away and thrown to the wind.

You stand and look ahead,

Not even knowing how you're standing without a form.

Before you is a beautiful haven, but you're no fool, you know a gilded cage when you see one.

Time to pull yourself together.

What, or who, is the Star Haven?

In a serene journey traversing a floating archipelago in search of secrets, you seek to regain that which has been unjustly taken. The Star Haven is a conscious place that has drawn you inside of itself as it tries to understand the nature of corporeality. But in order to do so, it has dismembered your very essence – your hands, feet, eyes, mind and heart – and strewn them across the land, to watch with serene detachment as you struggle to re-member yourself.

Dream of the Star Haven is a 1st person giant-leap platformer, a unique hybrid of exploration, puzzling and combat - a magical odyssey through the being known as Star Haven where you soar gracefully and eventually even bend gravity itself to your will, giving you the power to literally turn the dreamlike world upside-down in search of the missing parts of yourself.

As you venture deeper into its secrets you'll discover strange energies - some that grant powers, and some curses that take them away.

Immerse yourself in a unique blend of discovery, graceful platforming, and a dreamlike atmosphere. Uncover all that's hidden among the oasis of tranquil and expansive vistas that is Star Haven's strangely freeing prison of illusion - this being's living dream.

Cruise through the low-stakes core of the game, challenge yourself with the more difficult collectathon of its secret puzzle, or delve into the hardcore permadeath mode.

Embrace the joy and melancholy of a harmonious yet subtly twisted journey as you reach toward a higher Dream of the Star Haven
