What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The primary objective of releasing the game in Early Access is to improve upon it based on user feedback before its final release. These elements include the overall functionality, visuals, sound design and other facets which make up its core components. Also being aware of grammatical and spelling errors is key since the writing is a major area of expected refinement.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Loosh Grid will have a potential completion date by 2030.”

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

“The full version is projected to have a story that takes mulitple hours to complete. At this point, the player can complete the game in under an hour and this element is changing as more content is added.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Please refer to the "About This" section for further details.”

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

“There is a planned price increase when the game reaches a certain number of playtime hours. That point hasn't been reached yet as content is still being added. ”

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

“Their reactions via reviews and posts on social media is something that needs to be taken into consideration to make the game better. There are sequences in the story that may be uncomfortable and grotesque to some viewers, but it should be noted that the sentiment of these is of catharsis rather than glorification. ”

About This Game

Plot

A military black project run by a secret space program called Aranea operates under an agreement between the human Earth government and an alien regime who use human beings for their nefarious purposes.

This group is run by a powerful extradimensional spider collective which is connected a broad genetic human family who is needed for a variety of resources. One of provisions that humans give off that is sought after by these quasi-real beings is an emotional energy called "loosh," which this alien consciousness is unable to create for themselves and is needed for their survival.  

The Aranea spider collective ritualistically exercises their specific motifs on their human pawns to bind them to the culture of the arachnid using advanced methods of mind-control and Satanism. Our characters learn about these methods and how Earth's society has these elements secretly bled into it in order to extract the loosh from these humans.

The story follows Rhys and Serisai; humans who are both involved in the program implicitly and explicitly. The story follows their lives as they work, embrace romance and learn about the paranormality of their lives. 

Gameplay

Loosh Grid tells the story through visual novel interactions and comic book-styled storytelling. There are small multiple choice puzzles and dialogue trees with other characters which offer a look at the ways that Aranea functions as a secret society as well as the general day-to-day lives of the people on Earth.
