Proč předběžný přístup?

„Abyssal Trench is a solo-developed passion project, and Early Access allows me to gather valuable feedback from the community to shape the final game. Horror is deeply personal—what scares one player may not affect another. By involving players early, I can fine-tune the pacing, improve scares, and refine gameplay mechanics based on real experiences.

Early Access also allows me to test performance and stability across a wide range of systems, which is especially important for an open underwater world.“

Přibližně jak dlouho bude tato hra v předběžném přístupu?

„I plan to stay in Early Access for 6 to 12 months, depending on player feedback, feature polish, and bug reports. My focus is on building something atmospheric, terrifying, and stable—without rushing the final version.
