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?

“Last State is in Early Access because I believe in building this game together with the community.

While the core survival experience is complete and fully playable, I want to expand the game's depth and content based on player feedback. Early Access allows me to:

Test and balance the extensive crafting and survival systems with real player data
Gather feedback on which features players enjoy most and what needs improvement
Expand the world with new biomes, wildlife and points of interest based on community requests
Refine the difficulty curve to ensure the game is challenging but fair
Build features that matter to the players who love deep survival simulations

The foundation is solid: you can survive, craft, build, hunt, farm, and explore for dozens of hours. But there's so much more I want to add and your input will shape what comes next.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I anticipate 6-12 months in Early Access, depending on the scope of features added and community feedback. My focus is on quality over speed. I won't rush out of EA until the game meets my vision and your expectations.”

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

“Planned for Full Release:

- Expanded world content: 2-3 additional biomes, more wildlife species
- Quest system: Dynamic story events and objectives
- Enhanced combat: More weapons, tactics, and enemy variety
- Quality of life improvements: Better UI, tooltips, tutorials
- New mechanics (electricity, enhanced animal traps system...)”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Current Early Access Version includes:

- Complete core survival loop (hunger, thirst, warmth, health, fatigue, hygiene)
- 8 biomes with procedural generation
- 100+ craftable items and structures
- Hunting system with a lot of animal types
- Fishing with rods, traps, and bait
- Farming system with 15 crops
- NPC encounters (friendly traders and hostile survivors)
- Settlement building and permanent structures
- Skill progression system”

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

“Yes. The price will increase upon full release to reflect the additional content and polish. Early Access supporters get the game at a lower price and receive all future updates for free.

This is my way of saying thank you for believing in the project early on.

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

“Your voice matters. I will actively monitor:

Steam discussions and reviews
Bug reports and feature requests
Gameplay data and balance feedback

Regular updates will be posted with patch notes, upcoming features, and responses to community suggestions. ”

Decades after the collapse of civilization, nature has reclaimed the earth. Cities lie buried beneath vines and roots. The old world is gone, swallowed by an endless, untamed wilderness. You are a child of this new world, born into the quiet, raised in the shadow of ruins.

Last State is an immersive text-based survival game where every decision shapes your fate.
