What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“XVTM is being built with Early Access in mind, and the game’s content is organized into chapter-like segments called an ‘Index.’ Getting these segments into the hands of players as they become available will allow for player feedback while later segments are being developed. This feedback will help inform design changes and improvements, identify bugs and optimization issues early, and otherwise improve the quality of the final game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“XVTM’s full release is tentatively planned for late Q4, 2025.”

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

“The Early Access version is planned to begin with the first third of the game (referred to as 'Index 1'), with the remaining two parts ('Index 2' and 'Index 3') intended to be released at later points in the Early Access period. The full release is planned to include all three parts ('Index 1,' 'Index 2,' and 'Index 3'), as well as fixes and adjustments based on player feedback from the Early Access period.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All features and gameplay elements listed in the 'About This Game' section on XVTM's Steam Store page will be available in the first Early Access release, and should remain active throughout Early Access as further updates are made. Player feedback may influence whether new features are added or if existing features are reworked or removed.”

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

“XVTM’s price will increase slightly with each major update during Early Access.”

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

“Players are encouraged to post on the XVTM Discussion Forums on Steam with any feedback, bugs, or suggestions they have. Progress updates will be shared with the community through News Posts on XVTM’s Store Page on Steam, or through stickied posts in the game’s forums.”

About This Game



It’s 2989. Global population: 10,000,000 and falling. The final golden age has ended, and nobody cares.

You are Sheridan Swan, an engineering prodigy-turned-waitress, currently on parole. Your days are spent at Room and Pillar, your restaurant-prison, selling counterfeit designer goods when you’re not taking lunch orders or arguing with the automata chefs. Arcology Security hasn’t caught up with you yet, but they aren’t the only ones watching.

Serve your sentence, or choose a different path.




XVTM is a visual novel with light gameplay elements and branching story paths. Talk to people, robots, and even your reflection. Play microgames to deliver food, hack into protected systems, and lift weights. Visit luxury hotel suites, outdoor plazas, and empty shopping malls.

Experience a world past its expiration date, and the characters within.




Your decisions help shape the story, whether it’s choosing what to have for dinner, how to spend your free time, or the best way to get information from someone who doesn’t want to cooperate. In conversations, microgames, or in the world itself, what you do can have consequences later.

Remember, you always have options.




  • An immersive, dying world of machine magic and hyper-luxury
  • A branching narrative, where your choices, good or bad, follow you
  • Microgames for different activities, both criminal and mundane
  • Some explorable environments and locations
  • Multiple story paths, each with unique activities and endings
  • A minimalist aesthetic based on vector games of the 1980s
  • Secrets and dark corners that shouldn’t be disturbed




XVTM is a handcrafted experience made with love and care by a solo developer. Your feedback will help guide development, and is always welcome on the forums.
