What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our game focuses on a deep combat system and a branching narrative-driven single-player experience. We chose Early Access to refine core mechanics and narrative progression based on player feedback. During the Early Access period, we aim to polish the overall balance and enhance player immersion with the community’s support.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate the Early Access period to last between 6 months to 1 year. However, this may be adjusted depending on feedback and content development progress.”

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

“We plan for the full version to offer a more complete experience with additional story content, characters, expanded combat options, and overall system refinements. We may also enhance visuals, audio, and localization based on player feedback and development progress.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version includes the first run playthrough, the core combat system, branching choices, and basic UI and audio. The foundational structure is in place, and we are actively expanding story content and refining features.”

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

“Yes, we plan to increase the price after Early Access as more content and features are added. We want to reward early supporters with a fair price while reflecting the expanded value of the game at full release.”

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

“We plan to actively communicate with players through Discord and the Steam Community. Development updates will be shared regularly, and player surveys and test events will help us shape the game's balance and content direction.”
