What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We decided to offer early access because we want the community to participate in the growth of Seven Steps To Return. This project is very personal and seeks to convey a deep story through gameplay, which is why player feedback is essential to help us polish levels, improve performance, and adjust difficulty.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We don't have an exact date for leaving early access. We plan to keep the game at this stage until we feel like the Seven Steps To Return experience is fully polished and stable.

The time will depend on the feedback from the players and the improvements that we implement during the process. Our priority is to offer a solid and emotional experience, rather than meeting a specific date.”

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

“We plan for the full version of Seven Steps To Return to have a broader and more polished experience than the early access version.

We'd like to continue tweaking levels, improving performance, adding more visual details, and delving deeper into certain narrative aspects based on community ideas and suggestions.

The goal is for the game to evolve naturally based on player feedback, prioritizing quality and stability over the quantity of content.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of Seven Steps To Return includes the main story content, several complete levels, and fully functional gameplay.

The player can explore different areas, overcome platform challenges and discover part of the emotional background of the protagonist, Kailo.

We continue working on improving technical details, optimization and small visual adjustments, but the current experience already allows you to enjoy the full essence of the game.”

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

“No, the price will always be the same, it will never change.”

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

“We want the community to be part of the growth of Seven Steps To Return. We will actively listen to player feedback and suggestions to adjust difficulty, improve levels, and expand the story of Kailo and Nero.

Our goal is for players to share their experiences, ideas, and constructive criticism through the Steam forums, where we will read all comments and updates that arise.

We plan to use that feedback to decide which improvements to prioritize, what new areas to add, and how to polish the gameplay so that each update reflects what the community really enjoys.

We also want to maintain a close dialogue with players through regular posts on Steam, where we will share progress, changes and future steps of the project.”

About This Game

Seven Steps to Return is a challenging 2D platform game with pixel art aesthetics, where each jump and each fall brings you closer to the truth behind a story full of pain, hope and memory. Accompany Kailo, a dog marked by past wounds, and traverse stormy, celestial and desolate worlds that reflect his emotional journey.

Explore hostile environments, overcome relentless obstacles, and unravel a hidden truth as you meet Nero, a mysterious guide cat with intentions as uncertain as his origins. Each step brings you closer to the end... and not everyone is prepared to know it.
