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?

“Deadline Savior is an innovative attempt to combine a "deep RPG progression system" with a "Pomodoro technique (productivity tool)." This cross-genre gameplay is relatively rare on the market. We hope to use Early Access to collect real feedback from players across various fields—whether they are RPG enthusiasts or individuals seeking productivity tools—to help us optimize this unique balancing system, making the game a true companion for players during work and study.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate that the Early Access phase will last about 12 to 18 months. We view this period as a critical window for polishing the game’s core and expanding content. The 1.0 version will be officially launched once all planned major features are completed and reach a stable quality.”

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

“The full version will be the complete form of "Deadline Savior." In addition to more classes and gameplay content, we plan to add collection systems that enhance replayability, Steam Achievements, and more Focus Actions (such as fishing).

Furthermore, we will collect player feedback during the Early Access phase and strive to fine-tune the game's pacing and balance to their optimal states before releasing the full version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is v0.4, with approximately 40% to 50% of the planned full-version content completed. The existing version already features a complete combat core architecture, a codex system, and multi-playthrough inheritance, ensuring that players can experience solid RPG growth right now. We expect to release a major content update every 3 to 4 months to continuously advance development.”

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

“Yes. To thank the players who support us during the early stages of development, the game will be offered at a more affordable price during Early Access. As game content is gradually enriched and the 1.0 version is released, we expect the price to increase moderately.”

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

“Player suggestions are the highest priority on our development list. We will interact deeply with players through the following channels:

Discord Server: Engage in direct dialogue with developers and participate in community testing.
Steam Discussion Board: We will regularly check and respond to player feedback regarding game balance and bugs.
Online Surveys: Conduct surveys on specific new features to understand player preferences.

We sincerely invite you to join the development process and help us decide the future direction of this game!”

About This Game

Please Note

Deadline Savior is not a traditional action RPG. During focus sessions, your hero travels and explores automatically while you work. When you take a break, battles, rewards, and decisions unfold. Your role is to plan tasks, prepare builds, collect rewards, and grow stronger across timelines.

⌛    ⌛    ⌛    ⌛    ⌛

A Desktop RPG That Grows While You Focus

Deadline Savior is a desktop idle RPG that turns your focus sessions into fantasy adventures.

Create a real-life task, start a focus session, and let your hero explore the world while you work.

When the session ends, return to collect loot, gain experience, adjust your build, and prepare for the next journey.

Whether you are studying, working, drawing, writing, coding, or handling daily tasks, each focused session moves your adventure forward.

Focus Sessions Become Adventures

Your real-life focus time becomes your hero's travel time.

During each session, your hero explores the map, encounters enemies, finds treasure, and pushes closer to the destination. When you take a break, you can review what happened, manage your inventory, equip new items, upgrade skills, and decide how to prepare for the next run.

You can use Deadline Savior as a structured focus tool, or simply keep it running as a desktop idle RPG companion.

Work hard and reap the rewards!

Build Your Hero

Choose your class, equip weapons and gear, prepare consumables, and create a strategy that fits your play style.

The full version includes 12 playable classes and over 4,000 equipment and item variations. Experiment with different builds, collect rare items, and make each timeline stronger than the last.

Loot, Battles, and Auto Progression

Battles play out automatically, but preparation matters.

Your equipment, skills, items, hunger, and long-term upgrades all affect how far your hero can go. A good focus session gives your hero more chances to explore, fight, and return with better rewards.

Between sessions, make decisions that shape the next adventure.

Collect Across Timelines

Progress does not end when a timeline resets.

Register items in the Codex, earn Time Sand, unlock Goddess Blessings, and carry permanent progress across timelines. Completed collections can grant extra rewards, and registered items can be materialized again in future timelines by spending Time Sand.

Each run leaves something behind.

A Growing Codex

The current version focuses on item collection, but the world of Deadline Savior is designed to grow.

Future systems are planned to expand the Codex with more categories.

Collecting is not just for completion - it is part of your long-term progression.

Village, Shops, and Preparation

Visit different areas of the village between adventures.

Buy useful items, check your collection, unlock blessings, prepare your build, and discover new systems as your journey expands.

Future updates will add more ways to grow your team and customize your adventure.

Review Your Adventure

Deadline Savior does more than count your focus time.

Your focus history is summarized as an adventure report, showing your total focus time, average session length, focus ratio, peak efficiency, and daily rhythm.

The game also reflects your habits through playful titles, classes, and personality-style stats based on how you actually worked.

It is a work summary, but presented like part of your RPG journey.

Track Your Work

Deadline Savior includes a task list and focus timer to help you keep track of your real-life work.

Complete sessions, review your progress, and turn your daily effort into visible RPG growth. It is not just about watching a timer count down - it is about giving every focused session a sense of adventure and reward.

Play Your Way

Use it as a focus companion.

Use it as an idle RPG.

Use it as a small desktop adventure that grows beside your daily routine.

Work in the real world.

Adventure in another timeline.

Return stronger every time.

P.S. Even if you don’t use the task list feature, you can still enjoy this as a casual idle RPG!
