Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'We chose Early Access to involve the community early in shaping this cooperative VR horror adventure. By gathering player feedback during development, we can refine gameplay mechanics, balance difficulty, and enhance the cooperative and horror elements to ensure the game delivers a thrilling and polished experience. Early Access allows us to test and iterate on the procedurally generated mansions, monster behaviors, and puzzle systems with real players, ensuring the game evolves in a way that resonates with our audience.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

This timeline allows us to implement core features, expand content, and polish the experience based on community feedback. The duration may adjust depending on the scope of player input and the complexity of new features we prioritize during development.'
