Why Early Access?

“Silent Pathways" is a surreal, story-driven horror game, and I want to shape its world together with the community. By releasing in Early Access, I can gather feedback on puzzles, atmosphere, and story pacing, ensuring that the final game is more immersive, polished, and terrifying. Player ideas and reactions will directly influence how the story unfolds and evolves.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 6–12 months, depending on community feedback and development pace.”

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

“A complete story arc with multiple possible endings.
More gameplay areas with unique mechanics and puzzles.
Additional enemy and spirit encounters.
Expanded environmental storytelling and lore.
Improved visuals, performance, and accessibility features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the opening chapter and several cursed dimension rooms. Players can explore, solve environmental puzzles, and uncover fragments of the story through encounters with spirits. While core gameplay is functional, content is limited and certain areas are placeholders for future updates.”

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

“Yes. The price will be lower during Early Access and will increase when the game is completed.”

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

“I’ll gather feedback through the Steam Community Hub, Discord, and in-game surveys.

Community suggestions for puzzles, scares, and atmosphere will play a big role in shaping the final game.”
