Varför Early Access?

“We’re launching The Mirage in Early Access to gather valuable player feedback and refine the game’s mechanics, storytelling, and world-building. Early Access will allow players to experience the core of the game, including the time-traveling mechanics and evolving liminal spaces, while helping shape the final experience with their input. We’re committed to delivering a truly immersive and suspenseful experience, and your feedback will help make The Mirage even better.”

Hur är det tänkt att den fullständiga versionen ska skilja sig från versionen i Early Access?

“In the Early Access phase, The Mirage offers a core experience centered around time-travel mechanics, exploration of liminal spaces within the time machine, and survival against evolving shadow-like entities. The full version aims to expand upon this foundation by:

Enhancing narrative depth: Introducing additional story layers, character development, and environmental storytelling elements to enrich the player's understanding of the game's world and lore.

Expanding gameplay mechanics: Introducing new gameplay elements, puzzles, and interactions that build upon the existing mechanics, providing players with fresh challenges and experiences.

Refining AI behavior: Improving the intelligence and behavior of in-game entities, making them more reactive and challenging, thereby increasing the game's overall difficulty and engagement.

Optimizing performance and visuals: Implementing technical improvements to ensure smoother gameplay, enhanced graphics, and a more immersive atmosphere.

Polishing user interface and experience: Refining the game's interface and user experience based on player feedback to ensure intuitive navigation and interaction.

Adding new content: Introducing additional levels, environments, and features that expand the game's world and provide players with more content to explore.

Please note that these plans are subject to change based on community feedback and development progress.”

Kommer spelet att prissättas annorlunda under och efter Early Access?

As we add more content, refine gameplay, and enhance features, the price will gradually increase to reflect the expanded scope and value of the final release. Players who purchase the game during Early Access will receive all future updates and the full version at no additional cost.”
