Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The goal is to create the best possible final product for players. Early Access allows me to gather feedback throughout development, so I can improve and adjust the game based on real player experiences. It also gives me the opportunity to learn and grow during the process, rather than developing the entire game in isolation and releasing it all at once. I believe this approach leads to a better and more refined game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Since this is a hobby project developed in my spare time, I can’t give a precise timeline for when the game will be completed. However, I believe a realistic goal is to leave Early Access within the next two years, depending on development progress and community feedback. My focus is on building a solid and enjoyable experience, even if it takes time.”

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

“The full version is planned to expand significantly on the foundation laid in Early Access. I aim to include at least one additional level and a boss fight. I also plan to improve overall game balance, polish the visuals and sound, and potentially expand the story elements to enhance the player's sense of progression and immersion. The final version should feel like a complete, satisfying experience, building on the feedback and testing from the Early Access period.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version includes the first stage of the game, which features a complete level with core gameplay mechanics and enemy encounters. While this stage is fully playable, it may still undergo tweaks and adjustments based on player feedback. Players should consider this version a solid introduction to the game’s tone, mechanics, and overall direction.
For further elaboration, please see the "About This" description.”

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

“Yes, the price is expected to increase after Early Access. I believe it's fair that early supporters get access at a lower price, as the game is still in development. The price will likely rise as more content and features are added and the game moves closer to its full release.”

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

“I see the Steam community as a valuable source of feedback and ideas during development. I plan to listen closely to players' experiences, suggestions, and bug reports, and I’ll seriously consider all feedback provided through the community forums or directly to Headless Adventures. Constructive input will help shape the game's future updates and improvements.”
