Varför Early Access?

“We’re releasing Perpetuo in Early Access to ensure we can expand and refine the game’s evolving nature. As the game revolves around the concept of looping, we plan to grow these loops beyond the apartment, introducing new areas, mechanics, and an expanded storyline. Early Access allows us to involve the community in shaping this evolving experience, ensuring the game reaches its full potential. Your feedback will play a crucial role in refining the narrative and gameplay as we expand the world of Perpetuo.

Another very important element, is localice the game as many languages as possible.”

Customizable Controls: Full controller customization is panned to be available, along with other quality-of-life improvements to enhance gameplay comfort.

Hur är det nuvarande läget i versionen med Early Access?

“The main loop is complete, including 5 main maps (some with sub-levels) and a final map with a cliffhanger ending.

Localization was started with currently English, Spanish and German already available as game texts and subtitles.

Customized Controls has been recently completed too, so there is full gamepad control, and full redefine mouse / keyboard settings.

In addition, future updates will include at least one more map and VR support as part of our planned development roadmap.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

“Yes, there will be a price difference between Early Access and the full release. The price will remain the same throughout Early Access, but it will increase when we launch version 1.0 to reflect the expanded content and features of the complete game.”
