Why Early Access?

“Early access enables developers to release a game in episodic installments, allowing players to dive in before the full game is complete. I think this approach is far better than waiting years for the entire game to be finished. It lets players provide feedback during development, shaping the game’s direction, and builds excitement with each new episode. Plus, it gives developers a chance to refine their work based on real-world input, often leading to a more polished final product.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The early access phase is planned to last up to a maximum of two years. We estimate the development timeline to be approximately 1.5 years, but to account for unforeseen challenges or delays, we’ve reserved a full two-year window. This buffer ensures we have the flexibility to address any issues that may arise while delivering a high-quality experience through iterative updates.”

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

“The full version of the game will encompass all episodes released during the early access phase, delivering a complete and cohesive experience. This final release will combine every chapter into a single, polished package, incorporating player feedback and refinements to ensure a seamless narrative and gameplay flow.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The second episode of the game is currently in active development, building on the foundation laid by the first episode, which will available as a demo on Steam. This demo offers players a taste of the game’s core mechanics and story, serving as an exciting preview of what’s to come. By releasing the first episode as a demo, we’re gathering valuable player feedback to refine future episodes, ensuring the full experience meets expectations when all episodes are combined in the final release.”

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

“The full version of the game, which will include all episodes, may be priced slightly higher than the early access version, with an estimated increase of 5-10% at most. This modest price adjustment reflects the complete, polished experience, incorporating all episodes, enhanced features, and refinements based on player feedback from the early access phase. We’re committed to keeping the full release accessible while delivering exceptional value for the comprehensive game.”

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

“The community's feedback is crucial to shaping the game’s development, and we deeply value the input from our players. Based on the insights shared, we’ll be making targeted adjustments to refine gameplay, address concerns, and enhance the overall experience. This ongoing dialogue with our community ensures that each episode, and ultimately the full release, aligns with player expectations and delivers a more polished and engaging game.”
