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?

“Bay 23 is made by a two-person team. The core of the game is built and playable today: scan, carry, deliver and survive the shift, solo or with up to three friends. What's left is breadth: more robots, more hazards, more rooms and more ways to lose an arm. We'd rather build that with players than guess at it on our own.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6-12 months, with regular updates throughout.”

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

“More threats, more environmental hazards, more room types, more tools and cosmetics, and a full audio pass. The core loop is already in. Early Access is about adding to it and tuning it with players.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Fully playable solo and in online co-op for up to four players. It includes nine procedurally generated floors, package scanning, limb-by-limb damage, the vending machine and its debt, the break room between shifts, and a roster of robots including the Leech, the Stalker, Johnny and the package mimic.”

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

“Yes. It will cost less during Early Access and the price will go up at full release.”

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

“Join the Discord to report bugs, get into playtests early and tell us what to build next. We patch almost daily, and what players ask for shapes what gets built during Early Access.”

About This Game

Welcome to the team. The Controller is glad to have you at Bay 23.

You are a picker unit. You were built on credit, and The Controller would like it back. Every shift, you and up to three other units ride the lift down into the warehouse, find what's worth shipping and send it up before your battery runs flat.

Hit the quota and you've earned another shift. Come up short and you're decommissioned, with sincere thanks for your service and a note that you were always a valued member of the family.

Every package is a surprise.

Nothing down here is labelled. Scan a box to find out what's inside: something valuable, something soggy, something fragile, or something that isn't a package at all and would like your hand. Matching sets pay more. Your coworkers will have opinions about what's worth carrying.

Your arms are company property.

Damage comes off limb by limb. Lose an arm and you're slower and can carry less. Pull a replacement off a shut-down unit, or buy a fresh one from the vending machine. The Controller will add it to your balance. It always does.

You're not the only thing on shift.

The units that came before you are still down here, running on whatever charge they can take. Most of them want yours.

  • The Leech waits until nobody's looking, then latches on and drinks your battery.

  • The Stalker guards one package and doesn't share.

  • Johnny steals your voice and plays it back from the dark.

  • The mimic looks exactly like the parcel you wanted.

Every one of them can be beaten if your team is paying attention.

Low battery. Bad signal.

Proximity voice chat crackles and breaks up as your battery drains, so the unit who most needs help is the one you can't hear. The Controller regrets any inconvenience.

Between shifts

Walk the break room with your team. Take extra jobs from the quest board, each worth a few credits and a cheerful chime on your service record. Gear up at the tool shop, stash your finds, and spend what's left on perks and cosmetics. The vending machine is always open.

The Controller thanks you for your service.
