Proč předběžný přístup?

„ARIA‑404: Labyrinth Protocol isn’t just a game. It’s a living framework for collaborative worldbuilding — a digital mythos designed to evolve in real time, with the community as co-authors.

Early Access allows me to open the gates not only to players but also to story shapers. This isn’t the traditional “test & tweak” model. My goal is something far more ambitious: to involve the earliest supporters in crafting the DNA of this universe — its lore, legends, & logic.

Community feedback will influence every major update, chapter, & fork in the narrative. You’ll help decide which characters rise, which paths diverge, which mysteries deepen, & what the Labyrinth becomes.

The future of this world won’t just be dictated from the top down. It will emerge through the interplay between creator, code, & collective imagination. Early Access is the vessel that makes that kind of radical collaboration possible.

If you’re here, now, at the beginning, you’re not just playing the game.
You’re helping write it into reality.“

Přibližně jak dlouho bude tato hra v předběžném přístupu?

„My current goal is to remain in Early Access for 12–24 months, with a flexible timeline that reflects the depth of community engagement & available resources.

This project is as much a living narrative as it is a game — & its evolution will depend on the feedback, support, & creative contributions of early players. The more we grow together, the faster we can expand the world, unlock story branches, & refine gameplay systems.

Whether it’s one year or two, my priority is to ensure that the final release isn’t just finished — it’s fully alive, shaped by those who believed in it from the beginning.“

Jak se bude plná verze lišit od předběžného přístupu?

„The full version is intended to deliver a complete, immersive narrative arc — a fully realized story experience that builds upon the foundation laid during Early Access.

While the current version introduces the world, core mechanics, & visual language, the full release aims to expand in the following ways:

Significant story progression & deeper lore integration

Enhanced QTE (Quick-Time Event) sequences & more diverse gameplay interactions

Refined visual & audio design, including smoother animations & dynamic transitions

Expanded cast of characters & AI-generated dialogue variations

Community-driven worldbuilding with feedback loops influencing new story chapters & mechanics

The scope of these additions will depend heavily on the growth of our early supporter base. Every new player helps fuel future development — not just financially, but creatively.

We’re not just finishing a game. We’re building a mythos — together.“

V jaké fázi vývoje se hra nachází?

„The Early Access version represents a fully realized first chapter of ARIA-404: Labyrinth Protocol — complete with cinematic sequences, interactive QTE gameplay, original voiceover, & the foundational elements of the world’s narrative & aesthetic.

Players can expect a polished introduction to the universe, along with glimpses of deeper mysteries to come — & a direct opportunity to influence what comes next.“
