Why Early Access?

““HIPS N' NOSES currently features a rich café management system, deep character interactions, and a unique dream battle mechanic. Before the official release, we want to hear from players during the Early Access period to ensure the game’s balance, mechanics, and overall experience feel engaging and polished.

During Early Access, we plan to introduce new customization options, additional dream battles, and refined storytelling elements. We will also address player feedback to enhance game mechanics and overall quality.””
