Why Early Access?

“Paranormal Research Society is a one-woman show developed by a full-time student. Early Access is intended to be a way to gather support and resources for the game during its development, as well as to collect player feedback and adjust or add features and mechanics in the game accordingly. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Generously speaking, about a year. If I end up adding extra gameplay that isn't currently included in the scope of the game, the approximation may be pushed back, but the base game should ideally be ready in at least around a year from the Early Access release.”

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

“The full version will include the final boss and ending(s) of the game, but I'd also like to implement additional gameplay mechanics, gamemodes and character interactions, as well as fleshing out the world of the game a bit better. Depending on the game's reception, there are plans for a possible multiplayer mode as well. The game has plenty of potential and room to grow, and I'd like to utilize as much of that as I can!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As it stands, the Early Access version of the game includes the first two sets of levels and their corresponding bosses, new areas and weapons not present in the demo version, as well as mechanics like power-ups and side quests. Content up until the second boss is more or less complete, with improvements, additions and revisions possible throughout development.”

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

“The plan is to slightly raise the price of the game after the singleplayer campaign is finished. Depending on the final scope, this may either be during Early Access or after the game's full release. ”

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

“Due to the nature of the gameplay and its design, active player feedback is a very important component in improving the game as much as possible. I'd like to hear what the general playerbase has to say about the game as well!”
