What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have almost finished our game, but plan to release it as Early Access for future development. Since we don't have a player base to test the game, we plan to improve the game with feedback from the players who play it. We also aim to add content where appropriate.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We will respond to player feedback as quickly as possible and improve our game. If we and the players are of the opinion that the game now offers a final good gaming experience, the Early Access status will be removed. We are not able to give exact details of the duration. However, Early Access is planned for approximately 6 months.”

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

“The most important thing for us is the elimination of bugs and errors, which we only recognize through player testing. We are also planning performance optimizations and content, as well as possibly a new chapter.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access reflects the basic principle of the game and offers a good gaming experience. However, we are still dependent on feedback, there may still be bugs and content may still be added. This means that the game may not offer the full immersion for some players. You can check the “About this” section to see all the features and the main idea of the game.””

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

“The price does not change after the game has left the Early Access phase.”

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

“We will take feedback in the form of reviews or suggestions by e-mail very seriously and implement them as quickly as possible. We will also inform you about upcoming changes via social media and various discussion pages.”
