What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access will give the game a chance to benefit from feedback from the community, as well as giving the community a chance to explore the archipelago as it grows and changes.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The goal is to complete the game within 2024. When in 2024 will depend on how much the game wants to grow before completion, and how long it takes to bring the game to a fully polished state.”

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

“Future versions will be more challenging, lengthy, intricate, and polished, with more islands.

Additionally, support for achievements is planned.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is beautiful, engaging, and fun to explore.”

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

“The price will raise somewhat upon exiting Early Access. This is to give a discount to those who believe in the game early, and to ensure that the game is never overpriced.”

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

“We would love to hear any feedback and ideas that you have, in reviews or on any social media where we can be found. Sharing video of you playing is also incredibly helpful! We have been doing some playtesting and benefiting greatly from that, but the more exposure and criticism that the game attracts, the better!

The discord server is the easiest way to directly reach us.”

About This Game

The Archipelago

DitherDream is a trippy little exploration game set across an archipelago of strange islands. In each island, you must attune to the world to reach your next destination. This can mean attuning to specific objects to open the portal to the next island in the primary cycle, or activating other means of going to other places in The Archipelago. Each island is a unique, hand crafted experience, some with unique mechanics, and all beautiful in their own way.

How to Play

DitherDream controls like a typical first person game, and is generally enjoyable by those of all skill levels. There is no danger, and no time pressure when traversing the primary cycle. However, accessing the many hidden areas of The Archipelago will require taking time to fully understand the islands that you traverse, and most of the world is hidden.

Exploring The Archipelago

You have access to a diagram of The Archipelago that will gradually fill in as you visit more and more islands. Every session begins at the center, but from there you can navigate your way across the primary cycle, a circular network of small islands known to you as Ways. Many of the Ways will have a little stub next to them on your diagram, indicating that attuning to that island more deeply will allow you to travel deeper into that region, instead of continuing to traverse around the primary cycle. Successfully doing so is one key to unlocking the secrets of DitherDream.

The World Breathes

Every pixel of The Archipelago is alive with bits of motion and flow, and learning to interpret that motion will serve you well. With a careful eye you can learn to understand the intent of the world, and let it guide you.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Some of the islands are shaped a bit like adult humans that don't have clothes on. Those islands typically have things running through them that could be interpreted as injuries or sickness. Due to the art style, the overall effect isn't very explicit, even when climbing all over them.
