Why Early Access?

“We want to develop this childhood life experience with players and make it feel more natural and enjoyable. Everyday activities, celebrations, and memories of growing up are already playable, but we need feedback on what is worth replaying, how friends respond to shared experiences, and the pace of daily life. During Early Access, we plan to use that feedback to shape the controls, character interactions, and content priorities.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last approximately 6–12 months from its launch. During this time, we plan to refine the core activities, character interactions, and progression based on player feedback, and improve stability and performance on target hardware. This is our current estimate and may change as we receive feedback and development progresses. We will explain any changes through updates on the Steam Community.”

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

“We plan to refine the feel and pacing of replayable activities such as marbles, deepen friends' responses to shared experiences and interactions with everyday objects, and adjust guidance, day progression, and celebrations based on feedback. Character movement and contact with objects, visuals, voices, and performance are also areas we intend to refine. The scope and priorities may change as development and player feedback evolve, and we will explain those changes in the community.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is a Windows single-player game played with keyboard and mouse. Choose a boy or girl, explore neighborhood streets, home, school, village and travel locations, and take part in marbles, paper planes, card games, sharing snacks, and other everyday activities. Representative days cover life after school, school days, the Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year dumplings and staying up with family, summer trips, and memories of meeting old friends as an adult. Simplified Chinese and English interfaces, subtitles, and voices are available, and progress is saved locally. Activity pacing, character presentation, audio, and hardware performance are still being refined. Please use the current store description, gameplay footage, and free demo to decide whether to buy now.”

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

“We plan to keep the current base price throughout Early Access and modestly increase it for the 1.0 full release to reflect the expanded content and improved level of polish. Any price changes will be announced in advance. Players who have already purchased the game will not need to buy it again.”

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

“We plan to collect feedback and issue reports through Steam Discussions, and explain changes and progress in update announcements. Tell us which activities you want to play again, which characters or moments bring back your own childhood memories, and where guidance, waiting, or controls feel uncomfortable. When reporting a problem, please include the location, steps, hardware details, and screenshots where possible. We will consider feedback when setting priorities, but cannot promise to adopt every suggestion.”
