Why Early Access?

“I decided to release my game in Early Access to develop it together with you, the players. Your feedback is very important and will help me better balance the puzzles, identify and fix bugs, and shape future game elements, including the customization system. I hope that active participation from players on Steam forums and in the community will contribute to making the game as exciting, stable, and fulfilling as possible.

By joining the game at this stage, you’ll get early access at a lower price and have the opportunity to influence the development process by sharing your ideas and suggestions.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan for the game to remain in Early Access for several months to a year, possibly longer. The exact timing will depend on how much content is added, the level of polish and stability achieved, and most importantly, your feedback and suggestions. My goal is to eventually exit Early Access when I feel the game offers a more complete, polished, and satisfying experience that aligns with my vision and the community’s expectations.”

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

“The Early Access version already offers the main gameplay experience. We plan to significantly expand and refine the game in future updates. Some of the key improvements and additions we aim to include are:

• More endings: We hope to add new unique endings that allow you to explore the consequences of your decisions more deeply and provide more reasons for repeated playthroughs.
  
• New and more challenging puzzles: We intend to expand the number and variety of logical tasks to offer players additional challenges and thought-provoking situations.
  
• Further plot development: The story is expected to be refined and expanded to offer a more complete, coherent, and emotionally engaging narrative that reveals more of the secrets and events.
  
• In-game store and customization: We plan to introduce a store where in-game currency (coins) can be used to purchase various skins and items to personalize Jeff's appearance.
  
• Ongoing polishing and optimization: We will continue working on fixing bugs, improving performance, user experience, and the overall visual quality of the game.

Please note that these plans may evolve during the development process and will depend on community feedback and priorities.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the moment, the game is already fully playable and offers a basic experience that will serve as the foundation for the full version. You can immerse yourself in the game world, complete it, and reach several different endings—both positive and negative—depending on your actions and choices. The core mechanics are implemented and functioning.

The plot is not yet fully revealed, leaving room for future updates and lore expansion. As the game is under active development, there may be minor bugs or imperfections, but I am committed to identifying and addressing them to ensure a comfortable gameplay experience.

The current version provides a clear sense of the atmosphere, unique style, and fundamental concept of the game.”

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

“Yes, I expect that the price of the game may increase slightly after the Early Access period. This will likely depend on the amount of new content, features, and improvements added during Early Access. Players who purchase the game during Early Access will get it at a lower price, as a way to encourage early support and trust during this active development phase. This is my way of thanking the first supporters for their contribution to the project’s development.”

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

“Community involvement is a cornerstone of my development approach, especially given my main goal: I really want to see kripipasta make a comeback and regain popularity! My aim is to create not just a game, but a platform that contributes to the revival and growth of the kripipasta culture. For this, your input is extremely valuable.

I plan to encourage community participation in several ways:

Steam Community Hub: This will be the primary place for your feedback, suggestions, bug reports, and discussions about game highlights. I will do my best to review threads, respond to questions, and gather valuable ideas. You can also find the latest news and announcements here.

Telegram Channel: For more timely news, quick updates on major patches, surveys, and informal discussions, I intend to use my Telegram Channel. This will help us stay connected and receive feedback in a more dynamic way.

YouTube Channel: On my YouTube channel, I plan to share development diaries, showcase the game creation process, answer questions via video, and demonstrate how your ideas and feedback may influence development. This offers a behind-the-scenes look at the project and helps keep everyone informed throughout the stages.

I believe that by working together, we can create not only a good game but also a high-quality, atmospheric sequel that will be distinct from the first and help creepypasta shine with fresh energy.”
