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?

“As Immeta Studios, we want to grow with you by releasing Life & Shadow: Celestial Call early. We intend to integrate your feedback into the game in the best way possible and develop this universe together with you.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“There are content updates that we believe should be in our game. In the full version, we want to offer a deeper structure where an immersive event loop awaits you. We don't want to keep this process too long; a period of about 6 months will be enough for us.”

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

“In the full version, we plan to completely iron out any rough edges, perfect the gameplay, and make the universe much richer. We aim to bring additional mechanics to Life & Shadow: Celestial Call and expand the content significantly based on your feedback. We also plan to grow our community even more until the full release and be fully intertwined with you upon launch.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Our Early Access release offers an experience built upon the foundations of the Prologue version we shared with our players, where the core gameplay loop and basic systems are fully functional. In the current version, you can shape the course of our story, use our core mechanics, and fully step into the atmosphere of the Life & Shadow universe.”

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

“There may be a slight increase in price depending on the major content updates we will make and our transition to the full version. We see this as a natural part of the development process and hope our players will welcome this step with understanding.”

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

“We have an active Discord server. On Discord, we exchange ideas with players, review bug reports, and take note of feedback. Our players have been very helpful in the development of the game since the Prologue phase, and we want to maintain this transparent approach throughout the Early Access process. We pay close attention to your suggestions and believe that by joining us, we can perfect Life & Shadow: Celestial Call together.”

About This Game

PREPARE BY DAY. UNCOVER SECRETS BY NIGHT

You have been assigned as an intern to an isolated observatory on Mount Clearveil; Professor Elias was supposed to welcome you, but the observatory is silent… and something is wrong.

In this psychological cosmic horror experience, you manage the observatory during the day and follow the traces of Professor Elias’s forbidden connection with the stars at night.

MANAGE THE OBSERVATORY

Old devices, scattered notes, and unfinished experiments await you; as an intern, will you be able to handle the weight of this system?

HANDLE DAILY TASKS

You collect trash, grow and harvest crops, and try to keep the observatory clean and operational; yet the cursed symbols on the walls remind you that this place was never ordinary.

CONTROL THE POWER

At first, you cannot understand why keeping the lights on is so important… until you are left alone in the dark.

UNCOVER THE OBSERVATORY’S SECRETS

A path that opens at night leads you beneath the basement and into the buried secrets of the observatory; to uncover them, you must be brave.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

You think you are the one observing… but perhaps you are the one being observed.


You are trapped.
Over time, you begin to lose your sense of reality.

Will you be able to escape this observatory, or will you answer the call of the stars?

Life & Shadow: Celestial Call is an experience where calm and fear, science and madness intertwine.
