Why Early Access?

“Early access was chosen because feedback from the community is essential to improve the quality of the puzzles, especially with the blue shirt puzzles which are cryptographic and logic-based and can be rather difficult for the average player. We wish to identify where players might have trouble and provide additional explanation or hints to help the player understand what the puzzle is. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 12 months by April 2026. We feel that about a year will give us enough time to gain enough feedback to understand the rough puzzles that need ironing out.”

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

“There are additional worlds of levels that we wish to add. First on the list is Green Shirt Apartments: a world focusing on the platformer mini-games. After that, the blue shirt Data Center: a world focused on logic-cryptographic puzzles. Both of these worlds need to have their own unique achievements and bypasses for the puzzles similar to the pond world.

Extra worlds beyond those two may include a platformer with shooting and enemies to destroy, a dating sim, and other genres inspired by NES games such as a Metroidvania style or rogue like/lite.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“There is an open world with 8 main puzzles currently in the game, 4 platformer and 4 visual-logic-crypographic.

On top of that, there are 16 achievements where you have to explore the world and try different things to solve. Most achievements are easy to moderately hard to figure out but one such achievement is very unorthodox and is similar to something Sega did back in the 90s with one of their main games to progress their story.

Also, you can play soccer with some of the NPCs.”

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

“I plan to increase the price of the game later to match the content and quality added to it. ”

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

“The community has already influenced the progress of this game as more explanations of difficult puzzles have been added or tweaked to help struggling players. Also, more features have been added for players who want to be more interactive with the environment, which is why the player can interact with the soccer ball. I am very thankful for all the feedback people give me and I take it too hard as I try to make a better game for them to enjoy.”
