What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’re using Early Access to co-develop several core systems with players, including item/Node balance, the Forge/Planetarium progression model, and a new Synergy + Events systems as of yet not implemented. Player feedback will directly inform which mechanics stay, change, or get cut.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“2-4 months depending on how many issues or balance things are found during the EA phase.”

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

“- A fully realized Synergy system (new mechanics, triggers, and rewards).

- Significant rework and expansion of Nodes and Effects (additions, removals, balance passes).

- A revised Forge/Planetarium progression model (pacing, clarity, economy).

- Additional systems validated by the community (e.g., event modifiers, difficulty tiers, accessibility/QoL).

- Extra content and polished onboarding based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“- Core gameplay loop and story arc are playable. Several major systems are intentionally incomplete and will change during EA:

- Synergy system is not implemented.

- Nodes/Effects balance is provisional; many items will be reworked or replaced.

- Forge/Planetarium progression requires iteration on pacing and clarity.

Expect regular balance updates, new/removed nodes, and system changes that can affect saves.”

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

“YES - we plan to increase the price of the game for full release - we feel this rewards our early community a great reason to get involved early, while also helping us out to make the game better and improve all of the systems for full release.”

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

“We interact with them via Discord/Steam Forums/Reddit, and our main way of collaborating is to gather feedback on design elements and new systems we add to the game that we can improve for launch.”
