Why Early Access?

“We trust that rogue-like games in early access can benefit from the word of mouth of early enthusiasts. We want to build a supportive community of players, who genuinely believe in Ritualist's success and are willing to support the developers along the way.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in early access for 6 months preparing a full version release in early autumn. But we will be updating Early Access build with additional new biomes, weapons and progression methods when they will be ready for the players to check out and provide feedback - you have the power of shaping the game with us.”

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

“Full version is planned to have diverse surroundings and biomes, new enemies and environmental hazards, even more complex progression, lore-related and immersive updates, character customization and overall polishing of the full release build. Expect more from every thing you see in the Early Access, and you can affect what you see in Q3!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Current Early Access version is a technical demo of the core logic and gameplay that is revealed in the first biomes and weapons that are supported at the moment. We are building the foundation of our rogue-like iterative design with the complex progression with a couple of key mechanics still being in progress and all this will be gradually released to you with the Early Access version updates every couple of months.”

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

“With the updates and releases of new features - we plan to increase the price of the game accordingly by small fractions at a time. Full version will have a higher price than every Early Access version.”

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

“We design Early Access to be all around player's feedback. We plan to strongly rely on our community in terms of quality assurance and future development, so if you find a bug - make sure to report it via the "Report bug" form, and if you have any suggestions - make sure to drop your idea in our Discord server! We want every player to feel included and important.”
