Why Early Access?

“While our team has an idea of what we want SpiritScape to eventually look like, we want the game to be created with the ideas and opinions of the community in mind.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It's hard to say exactly when SpiritScape will be fully released, but we are confident it will be sometime in 2025. The reason behind the broad release date is partly due to our desire to incorporate player feedback, which could drastically change the overall shape of the game, and partly because our team wants to make SpiritScape as feature-packed as possible before release.”

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

“The Early Access version of SpiritScape will function like a collection of features the horror genre has already seen, but as we come closer to the full release we intend to add features this genre rarely sees. Some ideas our team has pitched include maps that change layouts as the game progresses, both controlled and uncontrolled shifts in time and reality, and using machine learning to bring a player's real emotions into how the game is played.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, SpiritScape has one map and limited in-game equipment. Each match has two phases: the identification phase and the banishment phase.”

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

“SpiritScape's price is likely to be fixed during the Early Access period, but we are certain that we will raise the price upon the full release. Any pricing changes will be displayed ahead of time on the Steam store page (including discounts).”

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

“Our team believes in the process of reviews. We will regularly check the reviews of our game to see what we could improve on and what we are doing well. We encourage our players to leave a review, whether it's positive or negative.”
