Why Early Access?

“Feedback is vital when developing any game, and Early Access will allow us to gather and apply that feedback more easily, so we can make the game the best it can be. We're a new dev team and, with Tabula being our first Steam release, this feels like the perfect opportunity for us to foster a community that can grow alongside us as we work towards finishing the game!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game is estimated to exit Early Access in 8 months, with content updates releasing every 2-3 months. Due to the open-ended nature of Early Access, this is subject to change, depending on revisions to our internal roadmap, or feedback from our playerbase.”

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

“We are hoping to offer many more puzzles, more folder themes, and a wider array of tricky and intriguing puzzle mechanics. We also would like to flesh out the computer system by introducing side content to the game, such as desktop minigames, and story content that explores the history of the computer!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of Tabula contains 24 puzzles, with multiple solutions to discover. These puzzles are split across 3 folders, each offering a unique environmental theme.”

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

“During Early Access, the game's price will be reduced to reflect the in-progress nature of the game. The price will only increase once we release the full game and exit Early Access. Details regarding the finalised price will be shared closer to the launch of the full game.”

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

“We plan to use community feedback to inform our decisions as we work towards achieving our vision for the full game. After each content update, we intend to collate feedback from players to fill in our roadmap and determine our next steps, including the contents of future major and minor updates. From squashing bugs and balancing difficulty to polling on planned features, player input will be taken into account every step of the way.”
