Why Early Access?

“The completion of Profiler Files depends on the success of our current Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. Early access enables all players interested in the project and all crowdfunding contributors to participate in the creation and the improvement of the game, up to its final form... and beyond!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Profiler Files will be available in early access until the official release of its version 1, scheduled for the fall of 2025, if all goes well. But you never can be sure, in game development, right? We'll try as much as possible to stick to it.”

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

“The entirety of the game's episodes will be available, and various technical and aesthetic improvements will be implemented: the visual style will be more consistant (by now, the graphics are conceptual art guides), the final characters will be more expressive, there will be additional features, cinematics, etc. The quantity and extent of the final enhancements will depend on the success of the campaign.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The first Profiler Files build already available on Steam is a working on progress but you can see firsthand what the final product should look like. This version includes the very first (and shortest) episode of the game and showcases the core mechanics of Profiler Files. Dialogue choices, searching for clues in the environment, profiling, variations in story progression, and alternative endings – everything that will be at the heart of Profiler Files is there!”

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

“The game's price will remain the same after the early access if the final version includes the 8 planned episodes. If the crowdfuding campain goes beyond the second tier, the game will include two more episodes and the price will rise a little.”

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

“We will keep you regularly informed about the progress of the project on the Kickstarter funding page, the official game website, and our social media channels. - and on Steam, of course.”
