Why Early Access?

“Choosing Early Access for Snatched allows us to shape the game with the community's input and ensure that the final product is as polished and enjoyable as possible. By releasing in Early Access, we can gather feedback on gameplay mechanics, balancing, and content from a broad audience to refine and expand the game before the full release.

This phase will also enable us to test and optimize the game across a variety of hardware setups, ensuring stability and performance for a wide range of players. It provides an opportunity to build a dedicated player base and involve them deeply in the development process, turning their insights and suggestions into action.

Releasing Snatched in Early Access helps us deliver a game that truly resonates with our players and meets their expectations, paving the way for a successful full launch.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Snatched is planned to be in Early Access for approximately six months to one year. This timeline will allow us sufficient time to incorporate feedback from the community, make necessary adjustments, and add content to enhance the game. Our goal is to ensure that Snatched meets the quality and gameplay standards expected by our players, leading to a smooth transition to a full release. During this period, we will keep our community regularly updated on our progress and any changes based on their input. If more time is needed it will be Updated here.”

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

“All of this is planned but not definite for Full Release

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the Early Access version of Snatched at launch includes the primary game mode, which is centered around the intense, RNG-based card game played in a shower room setting. In this mode, players face off against another victim at gunpoint, creating a high-stakes environment where strategy and luck are key to survival.

A few weeks following the initial release of Early Access, we plan to introduce the first part of the Story Mode. This segment will begin to unfold the narrative, giving players insight into how they were abducted and setting the stage for the deeper story that will be fully developed in the complete version of the game.

This phased rollout allows us to ensure that each component of the game is receiving the attention it needs to meet our standards and the expectations of our players. It also provides an opportunity to gather and incorporate player feedback specifically on the core mechanics introduced at launch before expanding the game's narrative and additional features.”

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

“Yes, the game's price will increase upon full release to reflect the extensive work and time invested in developing all the gameplay features. This price adjustment will align with the enhanced value and richer experience offered in the complete version of the game. The more updates = increased Price.”
