Why Early Access?

“We are a very small indie team. Polishing the overall quality of the game takes time, and there are practical constraints that come with running a small team. By releasing a partially complete version first, we want to share the game with players early, gather diverse feedback, and gradually improve the game’s overall quality together with the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning a full release in the first half of 2026.”

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

“The full version will add at least two new Conductors and new maps, over 100 new Decisions, a wide variety of events and landmarks, and a significantly larger number of Artifacts. In addition, a hard-mode variant called Frost Mode and various unlockable features are planned.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay loop is complete and fully playable, offering a solid and repeatable gameplay experience in its current state.
The overall structure of the game is in place, and development is now focused on refining, polishing, and expanding the content. In terms of overall progress, the game is roughly 60–70% complete.”

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

“Nothing is finalized yet, but we may consider a price increase after listening to and reflecting on community feedback.”

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

“As a small indie team, we value every piece of feedback from our players. We actively gather opinions through Steam Discussions, our Discord community, and email, and we carefully review and reflect on this feedback during development. Frostrain 2 is, in many ways, a collaborative work created together with the community.”
