Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows us to invite players directly into the development process of [ Content Deleted ] and gathering direct player feedback and bug reports is absolutely crucial. We believe that involving our community early will allow us to refine the game's scares, optimize its performance across a wide range of PC setups, and ensure the digital intrusion feels as immersive and terrifying as possible. This collaborative approach will help us identify unexpected interactions and further enhance the feeling that your own computer is turning against you.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate [ Content Deleted ] will be in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. Our goal is to achieve a full release within this timeframe. However, this is an estimate, and the actual duration may vary depending on player feedback, the discovery of new feature ideas, and our commitment to delivering a polished and truly frightening final product. We will keep the community regularly updated on our progress.”

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

“The Early Access version of [ Content Deleted ] provides a solid foundation of our core gameplay mechanics and a significant portion of the unsettling narrative.
We plan to expand upon in these several key areas:
• Expanded Narrative Content: We plan to add more chilling lore, additional hidden files, complex narrative branches, and alternative pathways for discovering the entity's history, leading to deeper revelations.

New Gameplay Mechanics: We intend to introduce new types of digital puzzles, advanced meta-horror interactions (e.g., more sophisticated desktop manipulations, webcam/microphone scares if feasible and carefully implemented with player consent), and unique entity behaviors that escalate the dread.

Enhanced Interactivity: More interactive elements within the custom OS environment, allowing for deeper exploration and manipulation of the digital space.

Performance & Optimization: Significant focus on performance improvements, broader hardware compatibility, and extensive bug fixing to ensure a smooth and stable experience for all players.

Sound & Visual Polish: Further refinement of sound design, visual effects, and environmental details to heighten the atmosphere and impact of the scares.

Additional Endings: We aim to add more diverse and impactful endings that reflect player choices and investigative depth.

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

“We truly believe that the community's insights will be instrumental in shaping [ Content Deleted ] into the most terrifying and polished experience possible.

Community involvement is paramount to the success of [ Content Deleted ]. We plan to engage with our players through several channels:

Steam Forums: This will be our primary hub for bug reports, feedback, and general discussions. We will actively monitor the forums and respond to player inquiries.

Discord Server: We will establish a dedicated Discord server where players can interact directly with the development team, share their experiences, and suggest new ideas in a more immediate fashion.

In-Game Feedback Tool (Potentially): We are exploring the possibility of integrating an in-game feedback system to allow players to easily report bugs or provide comments without leaving the game.

Regular Updates & Dev Logs: We commit to regular patches addressing bugs and performance, along with developer logs (via Steam News and Discord) that outline our progress, upcoming features, and changes based on community feedback.

Surveys & Polls: Periodically, we may issue surveys or polls to gather specific feedback on mechanics, narrative choices, or potential new features.”
