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 is a random narrative management game, entirely developed by a solo creator.

Because of that, I hope players can help enrich additional text content. In the early stage, the game will provide 1–2 main storyline arcs as a foundation.

I also genuinely enjoy involving players in the development process. I believe that the stories contributed by players can be highly creative and, in theory, will be valuable for shaping and improving the full release version of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“2-3 months”

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

“I plan to introduce more random events and choices to make the overall story more chaotic.
If possible, I hope players will be able to discover the “secret of the aliens.””

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is planned to offer 40–50 days of survival gameplay.
There will be two to three different ways to reach an ending, along with 100–150 events that provide randomized narrative content for players.”

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

“We will gradually increase the price as new content and features are released.
Early purchasers will receive a favorable price along with future updates as a form of appreciation for their support.
Therefore, the price may rise over time as the game continues to be updated.”

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

“You can share your ideas on Discord or in the discussion forums. Regardless of the language, I will consider them—if they are reasonable and suitable, I may incorporate them into the game.”
