What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The Writ is launching in Early Access to gather community feedback and refine the game. This release includes the opening chapters, giving players a substantial first look at the story, core mechanics, combat, and puzzles. Your feedback will help shape improvements, balance gameplay, and ensure the full game meets player expectations.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan to keep The Writ in Early Access for approximately 1 year. During this time, your input will be invaluable in refining existing chapters, expanding content, and enhancing the overall experience. Every suggestion brings me closer to delivering the best possible final version.”

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

“I plan to expand on the Early Access version of The Writ by adding new chapters, environments, and gameplay elements. My goal is to develop a more refined story, improve combat mechanics, enhance visuals, and optimize performance. I am also considering additional language localizations. Your feedback during Early Access will play a crucial role in shaping these updates as I work toward a polished final release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version offers multiple playable chapters with core gameplay systems, narrative progression, and a variety of combat and puzzle challenges. While fully playable, it remains a work-in-progress, with ongoing updates and improvements guided by player feedback. Thank you for being part of the journey!”

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

“The Writ will be priced lower during Early Access. The price will increase once the full version is released, reflecting the additional content and enhancements added throughout the development process.”

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

“I plan to involve the community by actively seeking feedback through the Steam and Discord. I will provide regular updates to share development progress, ensuring that player input directly influences gameplay improvements and future content.”

About This Game

Your perilous journey into the dark and hostile kingdom is driven by a direct command known as The Writ. This decree, freshly penned by the King of the World of Brightness, is a personal order with a clear and urgent purpose. The King, troubled by reports of increasing unrest and ominous signs from the World of Darkness, has issued The Writ to his most trusted warrior: You.

The Writ outlines a mission of utmost importance. The King, fearing an imminent invasion from the shadowy realm, has commanded You to cross into the World of Darkness and eliminate the perceived threat at its source. Bound by duty and loyalty, You accept The Writ without hesitation. You know the gravity of the King’s words and the trust placed in You. However, as You venture deeper into the dark kingdom, You begin to encounter things that The Writ did not fully prepare You for...

In The Writ, You will engage in intense hack&slash combat, utilizing a variety of melee weapons and combat techniques to overcome relentless enemies. Puzzles will challenge You to navigate through the shadowy realm, revealing hidden paths and secrets. As You progress, You will face moral choices that will not only affect Your journey but also the ultimate outcome of the story. The Writ is clear in its intent, but as You fight Your way through the darkness, You are forced to confront the possibility that there may be more to this mission than simply following orders. The truth behind the King’s decree and the real nature of the enemy becomes a puzzle You must solve, even as You fulfill the letter of The Writ.
