Wozu Early Access?

„Bound by Bones is being released in Early Access to involve players early in development and gather valuable feedback to shape the final version of the game. As a solo indie developer, community input is essential to help balance gameplay, improve scares, and expand features based on what players enjoy most. Early Access allows me to deliver a solid horror experience now, while continuing to build toward a more polished, content-rich final release with the help of the community.

„Community feedback will be essential during Early Access, especially for identifying and fixing bugs, improving level design, and refining the gameplay experience. While the main focus will be on stability and polish, I’ll also be listening closely to suggestions — and if a player shares a great idea that fits the vision of the game, I’ll strongly consider implementing it. Updates will be based on community feedback gathered through Steam discussions, social media, and other platforms.“
