Wozu Early Access?

„We are a small indie studio, but our game is an ambitious project built around a 3-big game phase structure. We chose Early Access because we believe it's essential to share our game with players as early as possible and build upon their feedback.

This approach has already proven successful: after two public playtests and a demo, we were able to meaningfully integrate player feedback into the development process.

Our game is designed to be long and rich in lore and rich in content, so a strong start and a memorable gameplay experience from day one are crucial for the upcoming phases.
Early Access allows us to co-develop the game with our community and ensure we’re on the right track.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„A development roadmap is available in the game’s main menu, outlining our current plans. We’re aiming to continue building on the Early Access foundation with additional content and improvements in 2026. This may include expanded puzzle sets, new gameplay features influenced by community feedback, and the possible introduction of new locations or phases— all with the goal of deepening the experience over time.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„The game is expected to grow over time as we develop it further. Early Access Phase 1 introduces players to the core mechanics and a central setting. In the future, we hope to expand the gameplay with more diverse locations, giving players the opportunity to explore different areas, experiment with new strategies, and experience greater replayability.

These ideas are part of our ongoing creative direction and may evolve based on feedback and development progress.

Early Access allows us to bring players into the world early and build the game together. Our long-term vision includes a flexible, escape-room-inspired horror experience — potentially with puzzles that shift dynamically and encounters that vary across playthroughs.

We're also exploring ways to enhance the game's atmosphere with visual and thematic elements inspired by the 1980s, including collectibles and design motifs that fit the era. These additions are part of our current creative direction, but may change as development continues.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The Early Access version includes the core gameplay mechanics for both players and NPCs, as well as the foundation of the game's Phase 1 content. Players will explore the main building central to the game's story, interact with usable items, and collect various collectibles hidden throughout the environment.

You can expect 30–40 puzzle variants, which represent just a portion of the full range of content we have planned. The Early Access release also introduces parts of the overarching storylines that players will gradually unravel as development progresses.

Additionally, the game will feature adjustable difficulty settings and key Steam integrations, including achievements, right from the start.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„We plan for each new phase to slightly increase the overall price of the game as more content is added.
Our goal is to reward early supporters and ensure they continue to benefit as the game grows.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„Our primary communication channel is Discord, where we’ve created a dedicated space with separate categories specifically for community-driven development. Here, we encourage not only bug reports but also gameplay suggestions, feature ideas, and general feedback. We did this by our two Playtest and during SteamNext fest

In addition to Discord, we actively monitor the Steam Community Hub and user reviews. All feedback is collected, reviewed, and organized into our Trello backlog, where it becomes part of our development planning process.

We strongly believe in building the game together with our players, and your input genuinely shapes its future.“
