What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’re a small indie studio with big ambitions to create a deep, satisfying experience built around care, connection, and discovery. As the project has grown, our development has been shaped by close collaboration with our community, whose feedback and ideas continue to influence how the experience evolves.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access will continue as we refine and polish the core experience.We anticipate being in Early Access for approximately 12–18 months, while development will continue afterward with ongoing updates and long-term plans.”

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

“We plan to make the full version a more polished experience, with deeper storytelling, expanded lore, and improved progression systems. We’re also exploring optional VR support on Steam.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version is playable and includes all core gameplay features listed in the About This Game section, such as pet care, exploration, foraging, trading, customization, and home decoration. Development during Early Access is focused on refining and polishing these existing systems.”

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

“We do not have a final pricing plan yet. The game may be priced differently after Early Access, and any changes would be determined and communicated as development progresses.”

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

“Our Discord community is central to how we develop the game. Community members regularly test early builds, share feedback through discussions and surveys, and contribute ideas that help shape priorities and guide what we work on next.”
