Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows me to expand the game based on your feedback - with more contracts, more challenges, and refined stealth mechanics on the horizon.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Rat’s Contracts will likely remain in Early Access for 1-1.5 years.
The core experience is already in place, but expanding the game with new contracts, mechanics, and polish will take time.”

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

“The full version of Rat’s Contracts is planned to include more contracts, expanded gameplay mechanics, and a more refined stealth experience overall.
That means new challenges, more ways to approach objectives, and tighter systems based on community feedback.
The goal is to evolve the game without losing its focused, minimalist core.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Rat’s Contracts offers a complete scenario with polished mechanics, sound design, and visuals.
All gameplay features listed in the 'About This Game' section are fully implemented and available in the current Early Access version.”

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

“No - the price will stay the same.”

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

I will be listening closely to the community through discussions, bug reports, and gameplay impressions to improve balance, adjust mechanics, and shape future content.
Whether it involves small tweaks or major design changes, your feedback will help define the direction of the game.
