What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I am an independent game developer. Releasing the game in Early Access allows me to fund its development while simultaneously collecting valuable player feedback. Hand-Holding Simulator has random synergistic elements, and I need your help to find imbalances.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I can foresee at least a year's worth of development before Hand-Holding Simulator is to the place where I want it to be. Actual development time is difficult to predict, but updates will be continuous until release.”

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

“The full version of Hand-Holding Simulator is expected to contain exponentially more content than the first release. What is currently a single run of the game is planned to be the first ascension of a significantly longer experience. The goal is hundreds of hours worth of content.

Beyond that:
  • Storyline and lore
  • Decisions and Consequences
  • Many more Affirmations
  • Many more Gifts
  • Audio Improvements
  • Graphical Improvements

and plenty of surprises!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Hand-Holding Simulator contains the first few hours of gameplay and progression. You will eventually run into a wall where the existing rewards run out. The full set of features described in the About This Game section are available in the Early Access version of the game.”

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

“The game will remain at the current price through Early Access. There will likely be a small price increase for the official release of the game.”

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

“Community feedback is critical to balancing and completing this game. There is a dedicated Discord Server for feature requests, bug reports, and everything else. Come join the conversation!”

About This Game

Hand-Holding Simulator is a game about maximizing your love. You will curate Affirmations to reinforce your relationship, commit Acts of Service as they appear, and spend Quality Time to get the most out of every moment. Eventually you'll be able to afford Gifts for your partner, and they'll be able to express themselves as they please.

This incremental idle game is designed to offer more variance than others in the genre. As you collect Affirmations randomly, you'll have to make decisions about which ones are worth holding on to. Affirmations have a wide range of effects, and you'll need to find ways for them to work together.

Acts of Service are popups that appear on screen and provide large benefits on their completion. Failing an Act of Service has negative consequences, so you'll need to sacrifice valuable hand-holding time to get them done. You can purchase higher levels of these Acts, which improves their benefits and minimizes their harm.

Once you've collected enough love, you can buy your partner Gifts. These are displayed beautifully on them, and you can dress them up as you'd like. Each Gift also has a passive effect that will be applied on purchase, making future progression easier.

All of this takes away from the most important piece of the puzzle: Holding Hands. The longer you hold, the more love you earn. Hand-Holding Simulator is capable of handling numbers up to 1 x 10^1000, so you will certainly find fulfillment somewhere along the way.
