What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are releasing this game as Early Access to get a gauge on what players think about our story! As well as to receive feedback from those interesting in seeing our game progress further!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan on having the game in Early Access for about 3 to 4 months.”

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

“We plan on adding more story lines to our dating sim as well as a walkable town level the player can explore.

Our goal is to have a more interactive experience, with a more traversable 2.5 D town that the player can interact with. Given that our main two characters are detectives, we want to give them a story to solve!

Right now the Early access only features our first intial dating sim segment, but we're hoping to add 3 more locations and more expressions to make our characters feel more alive.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The currently Early Access version of the game is just our initial dating sim segment. We only have one conversation featured right now to introduce players to our dynamic. But plan on releasing more in the future.”

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

“Early Access will be free, however we plan to add a price to play through the full game, once it's released.”

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

“We will take playtest input through our community page, as well as release dev log content to them throughout our progression.

Eventually we want to post a playtesting server, but right now we aren't prepared for that level of engagement with the content. We are hoping that our community will be able to give us insight on how gameplay feels, our art direction, and writing narrative!”

About This Game

Welcome to the small quiet town of Kettle Rock, cradled in the middle of nowhere in rural Idaho. This once prosperous town has now diminished to an almost-abandoned state, and it is here that Detective Lupe, a well-traversed investigator, finds themselves stranded by coincidence. While awaiting for assistance, they meet Sheriff Misra, a rookie officer within the Kettle Rock's Precinct. Lupe offers guidance in what seems like a simple break-in case at the abandoned Winery, but the mystery soon reveals a much more sinister secret within the town’s history. However, something lingers in the back of Lupe’s mind. Could it be feelings for their new partner in crime-solving? Or maybe an odd case of Deja Vu?

MEET THE ROOKIE is an exploration game focused on a mysterious narrative. Traverse the town, and meet a cast of mysterious characters. Lupe and Misra must work together to solve the mystery of the Kettle Rock Winery before it’s too late.
