왜 앞서 해보기를 진행하나요?

“You can see this as a symbiotic relationship: you, the gamer, receive the game earlier than it would otherwise be released, for a reduced price, and on top of that you'll get periodic updates to the story. It enables us to invest more time and energy into the game, and we'll get feedback sooner, when it matters.

Early Access unlocks the whole game. You'll receive every chapter, and periodic updates when they are finished. These updates are estimated to be every 3-5 months and should contain 2-4 hours of gameplay each. The full game story will take an average player about 30+ hours to finish.
The Early Access version consists of the first two chapters, which comes down to 4-6 hours of gameplay:
1) Incident at Gering Village
2) Perilous Journey to Nimwe Town”

얼마나 오래 앞서 해보기를 진행할 계획인가요?

“1-2 years.”

정식 버전은 앞서 해보기 버전과 어떻게 달라지나요?

“The Early Access version will launch with the complete core JRPG gameplay loop and the first half of the story, approximately the first 4-6 hours of content (Chapters 1 and 2). This includes:

- Full mechanics: pre-rendered backgrounds, random encounters, classic menu turn-based combat (commands, magic, skills, items, row positioning), overworld exploration, NPC interactions, gear/equipment systems, and towns and dungeons.
- Story arc: Strata's initial involvement in the Gering Village incident, teaming up with Leonel and escorting Lamina, early revelations about the decades-long conflict, and the rising suspicion that not all is as it seems.

The full version will complete the remaining story and polish:
- Post-launch major updates (roughly every 4 months): Each adds two new chapters (~2 hours each, total ~4 hours per update), introducing new regions, allies, bosses, deeper intrigue, moral choices, and escalating threats as the group works to unravel secrets and avert war.
- Final chapters: The latter half focuses on higher-difficulty enemies, ultimate confrontations, resolution of the central conflict, and full ending FMV sequences, bringing total playtime to 30+ hours.
- Additional content/polish: Balance adjustments, extra side quests/gear/options, quality-of-life improvements (e.g., travel shortcuts, difficulty tweaks), bug fixes, and refinements based on player feedback.

Early Access gives players the full intended combat/exploration feel from day one, with story progression building toward the complete narrative. Major content drops will extend the campaign gradually, leading to full release once the story concludes and polish is finalized (estimated 12–18+ months in Early Access, depending on feedback and iteration).”
