Why Early Access?

“We would like to work with players to further develop Revive! Onsen Town! through Early Access. By gathering feedback on the town management, exploration, and story content, we can better understand the player experience, identify development priorities, and refine the game as development continues.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last approximately 8–12 months. This timeframe may change depending on development progress, adjustments to the game's scope, and player feedback.”

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

“We plan to build on the Early Access version by further developing the town management, exploration, and story experiences.

For exploration, we hope to expand the town and its surrounding areas, offering more opportunities for discovery and resource gathering. For town management, we intend to explore stronger connections between gathering, production, and trading, with the aim of giving players more choices in how they develop the town.

We would also like to enrich residents' daily activities, interactions, and requests, while developing the main and side stories to further explore the town's revival and the lives of its residents.

These are our current development goals. Specific additions and their scope may change depending on development progress and player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version includes the core town management and exploration activities: farming, woodcutting, mining, fishing, diving, cooking, building, and various part-time jobs. An initial economic loop is also in place.

Players can currently experience approximately two hours of main story content and one hour of side story content. Together with management and exploration activities, the current version offers around five hours of gameplay, depending on playstyle. Players can continue managing the town after completing the currently available quests.”

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

“We plan to gradually increase the price as the game expands with additional content and gameplay features, both during Early Access and at full release. The timing and extent of any price adjustments will depend on development progress and the scope of the content added.”

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

“We have established Chinese, English, and Japanese player communities, with over 500 players having tried the game and shared feedback and suggestions. We also regularly conduct playtests to better understand how different players feel about the game's mechanics and content.

During Early Access, we plan to continue gathering feedback and suggestions through these communities and playtests. Alongside development progress and feasibility, this input will help guide our development priorities and improvements to gameplay and the overall player experience.”
