Why Early Access?

“We’ve decided to launch Occultus Vitae in Early Access to involve our community in shaping the final version of the game. Horror thrives on atmosphere, mechanics, and player experience, and your feedback will help us refine these elements before the full release.

Why Early Access?
- Community-Driven Development – We want to hear from players and adjust gameplay, balance, and mechanics based on real player experiences.
- Ongoing Improvements – While the core gameplay is in place, we’ll continue optimizing AI, expanding content, and refining the story.
- Gradual Content Expansion – More levels, puzzles, and story elements will be added step by step to ensure everything feels polished and immersive.

By joining Early Access, you’re not just playing—you’re actively shaping the horror experience. We appreciate your support and can’t wait to make Occultus Vitae even better together!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Occultus Vitae to remain in Early Access for around six months. However, this timeframe depends on player feedback and the number of active players. Our goal is to refine and expand the game based on community input, ensuring a polished and immersive horror experience before the full release. If more improvements are needed, we may extend Early Access to make the game the best it can be.”

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

“The full version of Occultus Vitae is planned to offer a more refined and expanded experience compared to Early Access. We aim to include additional levels, deeper story elements, and more environmental interactions to further immerse players in the game world. AI improvements, expanded puzzle mechanics, and enhanced visual and sound design are also areas we intend to refine based on player feedback.

Throughout Early Access, we will be gathering insights from the community to adjust gameplay balance, optimize performance, and fine-tune mechanics to ensure the final version feels polished and complete. While our goal is to significantly expand the game’s scope, the final content and features will ultimately depend on player feedback and development progress.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Right now, the Early Access version of Occultus Vitae includes the first playable level, allowing players to explore the world, experience the atmosphere, and get a taste of the unfolding story. While the foundation is set, puzzles and additional mechanics will be added very soon to further enhance gameplay.

This version is an early glimpse into what we are building, and we will be continuously improving and expanding the experience based on player feedback. Expect updates with new content, refinements, and optimizations as development progresses!”

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

“Yes, we plan to slightly raise the price once the full version of Occultus Vitae is released. As we continue to expand the game with more content, additional levels, new mechanics, and improved features, the final version will offer a more complete experience.

Players who join Early Access will get the game at a lower price while also having the opportunity to provide feedback and shape its development. We appreciate your support and look forward to delivering the best possible horror experience!”

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

“We believe that community feedback is essential to making Occultus Vitae the best experience possible. Players will have multiple ways to contribute to the game's development, including:

• Bug Reports & Feedback: We encourage players to share their thoughts on gameplay, mechanics, and overall experience. Constructive feedback helps us refine and improve the game.
  
• Polls & Discussions: We will regularly ask the community for input on features, difficulty balancing, and potential content expansions.
  
• Early Access Updates: Players will get access to new mechanics and content as they are developed, allowing us to gather real-time feedback on what works and what needs improvement.
  
• Direct Developer Interaction: We are active on our community channels and will engage with players to discuss ideas, concerns, and suggestions.
