What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Keepers of the Keep is a BIG game. Early Access will help us experiment with new updates and features as the game is developed, and will allow us to respond to bugs and fixes in real time, all while making quality of life updates along the way. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“A little more than a year in early access. We're shooting for a mid-2027 release!”

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

“The full version of the game will eventually have seven chapters (each around 1.5 hours long), 20+ side quests, full romance paths + post-romance scenes, more features, and much more polished mechanics!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current game includes the prologue, along with Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 (about 3.5-4.5 hours of gameplay). This includes the first two story quests for each romance option, 7 side quests, 13 achievements, and 7 endings.”

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

“There are currently no plans to raise the price of the game. It will instead be released in early access at the full game price, and will have each chapter added as a free major update.”

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

“Feedback will be everything! We will be listening for feedback both within the KINJAKO Discord server as well as the Discussions page on Steam, and any other posts on social media, steams, or YT videos on the game. If you have something to say, positive or negative, we will be listening and making changes!”

About This Game

STORY

You play as Monet or Vincent, thieves who have found themselves in a sour predicament.

You work at the Hutch & Go shop within The Keep, a new town you have found yourself living in, working off your debts while earning some coin on the side. While this is not the life you envisioned for yourself, your own actions have landed you here.

The Keep is bustling with unique citizens, including six Keepers (short of "shopkeepers"): Elgin, a quiet giantkin and local butcher. Hylda, a flirtatious pixie and owner of Little Grove Construction. Valentine, a rocker harpy and lead vocalist for The Harpy Ladies. Daiba, a friendly oni and café owner. Mango, an upbeat pyka who runs the Keep's recycling center. And Vanitas, a grouchy elf and brilliant ritualist.

Meet and mingle with these six keepers, among many, many others as you work your day job, shop around this new town, and go questing with the help of these new strangers. Make a new life for yourself in the Keep, all while slowly uncovering the tensions brewing deep within the town's surface.

FEATURES

  • Choose between two characters: Monet, or Vincent!

  • 6 Romanceable NPCs with full stories and additional post-romance interactions.

  • Dice rolls that affect the flow the story, leading to different outcomes.

  • Shop for items, grow/manage your stats, and learn unique abilities along your journey.

  • A narrative that always moves forward, no matter if you pass or fail a scenario.

  • 25 unique endings, including the game's main 5 endings.

  • 50+ In-game/Steam achievements.

GAMEPLAY

Keepers of the Keep uses a unique dice rolling feature, utilizing two six-sided dice that you will be rolling to decide the outcome of nearly every event in the game. How the dice land may be up to chance, but how you manage your stats as well as the items you carry/use will greatly turn the luck of the dice in your favor!

Work during the day to earn your gold, shop and interact with the townsfolk during the afternoon to grow your stats, and go questing in the evening to end your day. There are a limited number of days in the game's narrative, so it's up to you to spend your time wisely as the game ticks down to one of many, many endings.
