Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Need money to make the game, need feedback to make the game even more of a banger. We're finally ready to let players into the kitchen with us, join us.

The feedback you’ve shared during our Playtests and Demo rounds has been immensely helpful, and we’re eager to continue that collaborative energy.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently plan to stay in Early Access for around 6 to 12 months, depending on development progress and community feedback.”

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

“The Early Access version already includes the core systems that define the ODDCORE experience: fast-paced combat, tight gunplay, and the surreal liminal atmosphere. During Early Access, the bois plan to expand and refine these mechanics based on ongoing development and community feedback. If everything goes well, we’d love to explore adding the following:
- New variants to further expand replayability
- Additional enemy types and combat encounters
- More weapons, upgrades, and progression paths
- Refined visual effects, audio, and overall polish
- Improvements to existing modes and systems
- New features that enhance depth, variety, and long-term progression”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It was basically a full game when we released the Demo back in January 2025.
By the time we got to our October 2025 Playtest "ODDCORE:First Shift" players found the game unrecognizable because of the sheer increase in scope and all the new toys they had to play with. We're just letting it cook in the oven a little longer and we'll keep adding more as long as we like making it and players find new things to love about living in the ODDCORE.”

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

“Yep, gonna flip a coin whether to charge $5 more or $5 less on Full Release.
Do you like to gamble? Real life Buckshot Roulette :p”

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

“Point at any element on screen and we can tell you how our discord community influenced a sprite, an asset, a mechanic, or any other design choice.”
