Why Early Access?

“At this stage, we believe Anomaly Protocol offers an immersive and terrifying experience. However, many ideas and potential still remain hidden within the game, waiting to be explored. Your feedback is especially important to us in areas such as gameplay balance, difficulty level, and atmospheric intensity. Anomaly Protocol is currently "playable" and its core structure is in place, but a journey still lies ahead for us to reach its full potential—together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate that the Early Access period will last approximately 12–18 months, but this may vary depending on the feedback we receive from the community. Throughout this process, we plan to develop and expand the game together.”

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

“In the full version of Anomaly Protocol, we aim to expand the laboratory with more diverse layers, enemy types, collectible items, and atmospheric details. Our goal is to create a replayable structure that offers a different experience each time you play. Additionally, we want to fix existing bugs, improve gameplay balance, and provide a satisfying level of challenge for both new and experienced players.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“ In the Early Access version, you will explore the initial floors of the laboratory, struggle against radiation, and try to survive alongside your team. The game is already playable and offers a terrifying experience, but it is not yet complete. You may encounter bugs or find that some features are missing—however, this is the beginning of an adventure that will grow with you.”

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

“During Early Access, we plan to keep the game's price at an affordable level and gradually increase it as the game develops. In this way, we aim to reward our Early Access supporters.”

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

“We want to actively collect your opinions through our Steam discussion forums and Discord server. Which mechanics scare you the most, which enemies challenge you, or which rooms should create more tension? We want to hear it from you.
Surveys and Polls: We plan to occasionally conduct surveys on topics such as new features, enemy designs, or item types. For example, what kind of behavior would you like the next mutated creature to have? We might leave the choice up to you!
Bug Reports and Testing: By reporting issues you encounter while playing, you can guide us in terms of performance and balance.
