What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

Tales of Ancients is a single-developer project — a dark, narrative-driven psychological horror experience.
Early Access allows the game to grow together with its players, improving atmosphere, pacing, and mechanics through direct community feedback.

This is not only about polishing gameplay — it’s about shaping the story’s evolution.
Every comment and suggestion will echo through the empty streets of Lynxvale.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

There’s no fixed date. The duration will depend on community involvement and how the story expands.
Once the core experience and atmosphere reach their full potential, the game will transition to its final release.
The goal is to create a deeper, darker experience — step by step.

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

- Expanded story chapters and new explorable areas

- Additional environmental storytelling and puzzles

- Enhanced visuals and sound design

- New content shaped directly by community feedback

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

The first chapter is fully playable, featuring the core exploration and puzzle mechanics.
Some elements are still evolving based on ongoing player feedback and testing.

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

Yes. The final version will be priced slightly higher.
Players who support the project during Early Access will keep access at the current price and help shape its development.

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

Player feedback will be gathered through Steam discussions and social channels.
The development process will remain transparent — progress updates, patch notes, and feature polls will be shared regularly.
💬 In Short

This is more than a game — it’s a story written together with its players.

About This Game

🕯️ Message from the Developer

Tales of Ancients is a passion-driven project created by a single developer.
Thanks to your feedback, support, and curiosity, this dark story will continue to grow —
and eventually reach its final form.

This version represents the first chapter of Alex’s journey.
If you wish to see what lies beyond the darkness... we’ll reach there together.

🕯️ Story

Documentary photographer Alex Carter follows the trail of his missing grandfather to the forgotten town of Lynxvale.
But this place holds more than the remains of the past — it echoes something that was never meant to be remembered.

At the heart of the town stands the Hollow Apartments, a silent graveyard of trapped memories.
Each apartment carries the shadow of a life once lived.
Each floor unveils a part of Alex he never knew existed.
And every whisper pulls him deeper into himself.

This journey is the first step toward truth...
or perhaps where the truth truly begins.

⚙️ Key Features

  • 🧠 Psychological Horror: A descent into the fragile border between sanity and delusion.

  • 🔦 Exploration & Survival: Every step echoes through the silence. Light can guide you... or betray you.

  • 🗝️ Environmental Puzzles: Mechanical systems and spatial reasoning challenges that reward observation and patience.

  • 📜 Fragmented Narrative: Each document, object, and space unveils traces of a forgotten tragedy.

  • 👁️ Unseen Threats: Something moves in the dark — unheard, unseen, yet always watching.

  • 🎧 Sound & Tension: Silence itself becomes a threat; what you hear might never have existed.

🌒

Alex’s journey begins here.
But every path has a continuation —
and some paths are simply too deep to return from.

Community feedback will directly influence future chapters of the story.
Note: Currently available in English. Additional language support may be considered after release.
