What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Id like to develop the game while people try it out and help influence its direction. Allows me to release the game really early in development and work out the bugs a bit quicker. Id like to grow Crabs as much as I can for as long as I can. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“At least a year but maybe more. I will release it when its finally refined and an enjoyable experience. ”

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

“Id like to have tradable and collectable shells for the Crabs on the final version. Alongside a good fantasy simulation of owning a hermit crab as a pet. With a RPG area (Backyard Area) full of content and gameplay for you and your Crab. ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You login to care for your hermit crab. They require food and water to stay healthy. If you login past the date you have prepared food for, your crab will perish. There is also a back RPG backyard area where you can roam around with your Crab and interact with different creatures. ”

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

“The price will most likely increase with the introduction of new content and features. ”

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

“Give feedback and suggestions to influence the direction of Crabs content. ”
