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?

“We would love to consider Early Access players feedback while working on the missing pieces of the game. We normally update the game on a one to two week basis and would love to keep up that pace during EA too which could benefit us and the players we believe.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Considering the missing pieces of the game right now, we expect the game to be in EA up to 1 year.”

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

“Our current plan is to focus on adding more content and closing a couple of systems while also work more on the meta game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Game is playable and can be completed, there are some systems to be refined, and needs more content, but there is already a complete experience that should improve over time.”

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

“Current plan is to raise the price after early access on 1.0 launch.”

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

“Right now, we mainly use Discord and the Steam Community to interact with the community. There is also a feedback form from inside the game, and we are also reading all social networks. Our current plan is to shape the content and adjust the systems of the game considering the feedback of the community and our original vision of the game.”
