Why Early Access?

“The core survival loop is established, but the game is still in its formative stages. We chose Early Access to actively involve the community in shaping the game's depth. We plan to introduce major systems such as a cooking system, a skill progression system, and various wild animal encounters. Player feedback will be crucial in balancing these mechanics and deciding which new survival elements and ghost behaviors should be prioritized to create a truly terrifying and engaging experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate that the game will remain in Early Access for approximately 1 to 2 years. However, this timeline may be adjusted depending on the community's feedback and the development pace of new features such as the cooking and skill systems. Our priority is to ensure the game reaches a high level of polish and content richness before the full release.”

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

“We plan to significantly expand the depth of the survival experience in the full version. Our current goals include:

Systems: We aim to implement a comprehensive cooking system to manage nutrients and a skill system to provide diverse character growth.

Content: We plan to add various wild animal encounters, and additional ghost types with unique behaviors.

Balance: We intend to refine the overall balance and atmosphere based on player feedback gathered during Early Access.

While these are our current intentions, the final scope of the game may evolve as we listen to our community's suggestions.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version features the fundamental survival loop: hiding from ghosts, scavenging for food, and surviving for 16 minutes on a randomly generated map. The core mechanics of HP, nutrient management, and meta-progression (saving survival time) are functional. However, the available content—such as the of ghosts, map themes—is currently limited to a base set. We consider this a foundation that is ready for player testing, but it requires much more content and refinement to be considered a complete experience.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”
