Why Early Access?

“We chose Early Access because this game is heavily driven by feel. We want the player to experience the feel of stealth, tension, and being a spy operating in hostile territory. While all core mechanics are already implemented, we want player feedback on whether the spy fantasy truly works. We would like to know if the stealth actually feels rewarding, if the enemy behavior is fair and believable, if the missions feel tense and satisfying to complete.

Early Access allows us to gather this feedback while continuing to add historically inspired missions, levels, and narrative content, instead of waiting until everything is locked in. This helps us refine pacing, AI behavior, balance, and mission design based on real player experience, and not assumptions. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to remain in Early Access for approximately 12 months. Development includes:
1. Adding the remaining story missions (approximately a total of 24 levels)
2. Adding Marathi voice-over (in addition to English voice-over)
3. Polishing AI, stealth balance, and level design
4. Performance optimization and bug fixing

Development is fully funded and we are committed to completing the game.”

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

“We plan to include the following in the full 1.0 version:
1. All 24 story missions, based on key events from Shivaji Maharaj's life
2. Complete narrative experience with illustrations and voice-over
3. Marathi voice-over, in addition to English
4. Refined enemy AI and stealth systems based on player feedback
5. Improved level pacing and balance
6. Overall polish, bug fixes, and performance improvements

Early Access already has the core gameplay in place. The full version focuses on content completeness, refinement, and narrative depth.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and mechanically complete, with the following features:
- 2 fully playable levels with about 1 hour of gameplay

- Complete core stealth mechanics
1. Stealth takedowns
2. Changing disguises
3. Infiltration via ledge climbing and entering facilities through doors and windows
4. Hiding in chests, bushes
5. Firecracker for distraction
6. Lockpicking
7. Hiding enemy bodies
8. Dialogue-based interactions
9. Environmental interactions (desks, workstations, eavesdropping etc.)

- Enemy AI with suspicion and alert states leading to failure
- English voice-over narration and story illustrations
- A complete gameplay loop from mission start to mission failure/success.

Players should expect a stable experience, with ongoing improvements as feedback comes in.”

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

“Yes.

1. The game will be priced lower during Early Access
2. The price may increase once during Early Access as significant content is added
3. The final price increase will happen at 1.0 release

All Early Access buyers will receive every update and the full 1.0 version at no additional cost.”

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

“Community feedback is core part of our development process.
We actively encourage players to share gameplay feedback, report bugs and balance issues, discuss mission design and difficulty, and talk about whether the spy fantasy feels authentic and engaging.

We have a Discord server where players can directly interact with the developers and post feedback. Insights from the community will directly influence stealth balance, enemy AI behavior, mission structure and pacing, and quality-of-life improvements.

We will also share development updates during Early Access to keep the community informed about progress and upcoming content.”
