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?

“As a solo developer, I’ve gathered feedback mostly through game jams and conventions, but now I want to open the door to a wider community. Early Access lets players experience the game early and share feedback that directly shapes its final form. My goal is to listen, improve, and evolve the gameplay based on real player experiences so the full launch delivers the best possible version of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I’m aiming for less than six months of Early Access. The full release is planned for about two weeks before Halloween, giving the game room to breathe before the holiday rush. That timeline gives me enough space to refine content, respond to feedback, and add a few surprise updates leading up to launch.”

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

“The full version will feature all planned levels, weapons, and bosses, plus cinematic story moments that reveal the darker lore behind the world and its characters. Expect more polish, balance tweaks, visual improvements, and an overall smoother gameplay experience shaped by community feedback from Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build includes three playable levels, core enemies, and several working weapons. I’m actively redesigning environments to bring out a more distinct “food-fantasy” atmosphere that better fits the game’s theme. Some weapons and late-game systems are still in progress, but the foundation is stable and fun to play.”

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

“Yes, the Early Access version will be slightly cheaper, as a thank-you to early supporters who help shape development. The final release will increase by a few dollars once all features and content are complete.”

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

“Community feedback will guide the rest of development. I’ve set up a Discord server where players can report bugs, share suggestions, and discuss ideas directly with me. I’m also active on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, posting daily updates. Every comment helps me prioritize improvements; Early Access will be a true collaboration with the players.”
