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?

“This game is in Early Access because it was conceived as an experience that directly benefits from player interaction during its development. Although it is already fully playable, there are still systems, content, and adjustments that can evolve significantly based on real community feedback. Elements such as pacing, narrative, atmosphere, and even design decisions can be improved much more solidly when they engage with the players. This is my first game. For me, it's my masterpiece, and I don't intend to stop developing it until it's complete as I envision it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I estimate it will take me a few months to complete it the way I have it in mind.”

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

“We plan to add more levels, more story events, and a true ending for a certain character that those who reached the end will get to know.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Anyone who buys this game can expect a story-driven experience from beginning to end. The platforming levels follow a path established throughout the story, giving a sense of completion. However, I want to implement more content; I have ideas for adding new levels that, in my mind, will make the game much better. During the development of this game, I had to accelerate production several times due to work commitments, so I feel the game has the potential to extend for many more hours, and the character has the ability to explore various different angles, both story angles and special levels. In fact, I've been planning this game for a long time. And now I want to continue working on it with whatever help I can get until it's fully completed.”

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

“Throughout the early access period, the price will be 50% off considering that the plan is for the game to double in playtime when it's complete.”

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

“I hope to receive tips and ideas on what I should improve and what I should implement. Jimmy needs our help. ”
