Why Early Access?

“We believe Early Access is the ideal opportunity for Into The Deep End to grow and evolve with the support of our community. By launching in Early Access, we can collect valuable feedback and insights directly from our players to refine gameplay, introduce new features, and expand in ways that align with your vision.

We want the Early Access period for Into The Deep End to be an exciting and dynamic experience driven by your input. We update the game frequently, exploring new possibilities and expanding in fun directions. Your time with the game helps us understand what you love, what you want to see more of, and allows us to develop in ways that would be impossible without Early Access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate Into The Deep End will leave Early Access in 2025—though the exact timing will depend on when we've fully realized all our creative ideas.”

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

“We plan to make the full version more refined and polished, with additional content intended to enhance the classic alien invasion experience. This includes new environments to further immerse players in the world.

Additionally, we plan to introduce new alien types, weapons and explore further features to enrich the gameplay”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable in single-player. You can experience a full alien invasion mystery as a widowed reverend in a secluded country home.

We still have more polish, balancing, and content to create in order to fully round out the experience.”

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

“Yes! We want our Early Access supporters to get Into The Deep End at the best possible price, reflecting its in-development state—think of it as a discount for being an early bird. We haven’t decided on the exact release price yet, but you can expect a small increase once we move to full release”

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

“We spend a lot of time with the community, sharing what we are working on, listening to feedback, and actively making improvements while planning new content.

We are open about our development process—you can always see what we are up to on our socials and forums.”
