Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is in its finalization phase and is already fully playable. I mainly need to add some event illustrations, polish the balancing, and finalize the visual elements for the end of the game. Early Access allows me to complete these aspects while gathering player feedback to refine the content and synergies.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access should last a few months. The goal is to release the full version around late summer or early autumn, depending on player feedback and the time needed to finalize the last adjustments. I do not plan to extend the Early Access period unnecessarily.”

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

“We plan to add more content, improve balance, and refine the overall experience based on player feedback. We also plan to include all planned illustrations and expand the Game Rules system to better guide new players. These plans may evolve depending on development needs and community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and includes all core mechanics, cards, events, and systems already functioning. The content is stable and allows players to enjoy a complete run from start to finish. Some visual elements, advanced balancing, and improvements to the ‘Game Rules’ system are still in progress, but the current experience already reflects the final vision of the game very closely.”

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

“We do not plan to change the price during or after Early Access.”

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

“The community will be able to take part in the development by sharing feedback, suggestions, and bug reports through Steam and Discord. Player input will be considered to refine balancing, improve the clarity of mechanics, and adjust certain content. The goal is to develop the game transparently, taking into account the most relevant feedback to enhance the overall experience.”
