Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« Expedition to Madness is more than just a game, it’s the starting point of a larger universe based on Emily’s Chronicles, a sci-fi horror novel written by the game’s creator.

Early Access gives us the chance to grow this project together with the community, improving not only the survival and co-op gameplay, but also the world, the lore, and the story behind it.

With the core game systems already in place, Early Access allows us to test balance, gather feedback on procedural content, as every expedition is different, and make sure the Lovecraftian atmosphere is as scary, mysterious, and exciting as it should be.
