왜 앞서 해보기를 진행하나요?

“Deadlock is being released in Early Access so players can experience the world as it grows and evolves. The game is ambitious — blending survival horror, exploration, and narrative depth — and Early Access allows us to gather feedback directly from the community to refine balance, pacing, and core mechanics.

By launching early, we can test new systems in real-time, identify what resonates most with players, and ensure that the final release delivers the tense, atmospheric experience we’re striving for.

Our goal is to build Deadlock with the community: from monster design and environmental storytelling to difficulty tuning and world-building details. Early Access ensures that every update brings Deadlock closer to the best possible version of itself.”

얼마나 오래 앞서 해보기를 진행할 계획인가요?

“Deadlock is expected to remain in Early Access for approximately 12–18 months.

Our focus isn’t on hitting a strict deadline, but on delivering the most complete and polished experience possible. The timeline depends heavily on community feedback, development progress, and the scope of new content we build together.

We want to give players the time to shape the world, influence design, and refine mechanics with us. Early Access will continue until Deadlock feels fully realized — and that means we’ll stay in it as long as it takes to get it right.

정식 버전은 앞서 해보기 버전과 어떻게 달라지나요?

“The full version of Deadlock is planned to expand on every part of the Early Access foundation. Our vision includes:

A larger, more interconnected world with new districts, interiors, and hidden areas to explore.

Additional enemy types and boss encounters that deepen the survival horror experience.

Expanded story content and narrative layers, giving players more insight into the mysteries of Deadlock’s world.

Refined gameplay systems, including combat balance, resource management, and environmental interactions.

Quality of life improvements and polish based on community feedback.


The ultimate goal is to evolve Deadlock into a dense, atmospheric survival horror experience with greater variety, depth, and replayability than the Early Access version.”

앞서 해보기 버전은 현재 어떤 상태인가요?

“The Early Access version of Deadlock already contains the core survival horror experience. Players can explore a portion of the city streets, investigate key interiors, and face a variety of hostile creatures. Essential mechanics such as combat, inventory management, exploration, and environmental storytelling are in place, giving a strong sense of the game’s intended atmosphere and tension.

While the current content represents only part of the larger vision, it is fully playable and designed to showcase the tone, mechanics, and world of Deadlock. Players should expect a challenging, atmospheric survival experience that will continue to grow in scope and detail throughout Early Access.”

앞서 해보기 기간 전후로 게임 가격이 달라지나요?

“Yes. The price of Deadlock will increase as the game grows in scope and content. Early Access is intended as a way to support development at a lower entry point, while those who join later — once more features, areas, and content are added — can expect a higher price to reflect the expanded experience.”

개발 과정에서 어떻게 커뮤니티와 소통할 계획인가요?

“Community feedback is at the core of Deadlock’s Early Access. We want players to help shape the game by sharing their experiences, ideas, and critiques. This input will guide how we refine balance, adjust difficulty, expand content, and improve quality of life features.

We’ll be actively listening through Steam discussions, social media, and community channels, regularly gathering feedback to inform development priorities. Players will also be updated with development notes, patch details, and sneak peeks of upcoming content so they can see how their input directly influences the game’s evolution.

Deadlock is meant to be built with the community — Early Access is our way of ensuring player voices are part of its DNA.

You can join the development discussions via our discord, and help shape the world of Deadlock Protocol. ”
