Why Early Access?

“The Barnhouse Killer launches in Steam Early Access to refine gameplay with your feedback. The core game is polished with one mode and one map, but we'll expand with new content, features, and improvements.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect The Barnhouse Killer to stay in Early Access for 6 to 12 months, giving us time to add maps, modes, and characters while refining the game with player feedback. Our goal is a polished, content-rich full release.”

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

“We plan to add new maps, game modes, and characters, along with progression, customization, and quality-of-life improvements like ranked play, an item shop, and UI refinements. Our goal is to grow the game organically, prioritizing what players find most engaging.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of The Barnhouse Killer is fully playable—you can complete a full game, the UI is in great shape, and the map is nearly finished. Sound is starting to go in, and while we still have work to do on visual effects, the core experience is solid.”

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

“No, the price of The Barnhouse Killer will stay the same during and after Early Access. We want it to be affordable—basically the cost of a coffee—so more players can jump in, have fun, and help shape the game. Our focus is on growing the community, not adjusting the price.”

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

“Community feedback is key to making The Barnhouse Killer the best it can be. Join our active Discord to share suggestions, discuss gameplay, stay updated on development, and report bugs. We're transparent about our progress and want players involved in shaping the game’s future—your feedback will help guide new content, balance, and features.”
