What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“LORED is a deep, systems-driven game with multiple stages of evolving gameplay. Early Access gives me the opportunity to refine each Stage with player feedback, balancing complexity, pacing, and progression as you engage with it. LORED thrives on iteration. Early Access is the perfect fit.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“As long as needed. At minimum, 8 months.”

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

“The plan is for the full version to include four unique Stages of gameplay, each with their associated LOREDs and a mini-game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Two Stages of content are complete. You can already expect increasingly complex and rewarding gameplay, with 42 LOREDs to meet and many mechanics to explore.”

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

“The price will not change.”

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

“I read all comments. Many quality-of-life features exist because of player feedback.
Mods, tools, fan art, and shipping theories are hosted in the Discord.”

About This Game

***

LORED is an idle-incremental game about collecting as many resources as possible, including Iron, Copper, and... Malignancy?! Set your stickfigure LOREDs to work, buy them plenty of Upgrades, and ensure they don't run out of fuel!

There are four tiers--or Stages--of Upgrades and LOREDs! The most powerful Upgrades consume your current host, requiring a prestige.

Leveling up a LORED doubles their Output, but also their Input! Play carefully!

Each of the 63 LOREDs have their own unique animations!

LOREDs will think out loud and may reply to each other!

Talk to LOREDs in-between managing resources!

LORED was first released in 2019, and has been receiving constant development ever since. Since the last public update, LORED has been re-built from the ground up with all new Upgrade Trees and mechanics!

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

1. You can enter dialogue with the stickfigure LOREDs, who sometimes get so passionate as to say curse words.
2. There is a satirical depiction of a Satan worshipper intended for humorous purposes only.
