Why Early Access?

“As an independent developer, Early Access allows me to gather feedback from players while continuing to improve Spirimonz. Community feedback helps me identify which mechanics are the most enjoyable, what features need refinement, and how the overall experience can be improved over time.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I currently expect Spirimonz to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. This timeline may change depending on development progress and community feedback.”

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

“During Early Access, I plan to continue expanding and improving the game based on player feedback and development progress.

Current plans include additional haunted locations to investigate, more Spirimonz to discover, new paranormal encounters, gameplay balancing, quality-of-life improvements, bug fixes, and further progression content. Development priorities may evolve throughout Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version is fully playable and already includes the complete core gameplay loop.

Players can:

Explore a town hub and choose investigation missions.
Investigate haunted locations in first-person view.
Gather clues to identify the spirit haunting each location.
Capture spirits and transform them into collectible Spirimonz companions.
Build a team of up to 5 Spirimonz.
Earn money through successful investigations and unlock new locations.
Save their progress using up to 3 save slots.

The current version includes:

10 playable haunted investigation locations.
27 collectible Spirimonz.
16 different spirit types to identify and capture.
Multiple unlockable environments, including a Japan-themed area and a snowy mountain region.
Exclusive Spirimonz that can only be discovered in certain locations.
The complete investigation, capture, collection, and progression systems.

A typical investigation lasts around 10 minutes. Completing the collection, unlocking every available location, and discovering all available Spirimonz will require considerably more playtime.”

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

“The price is currently planned to remain the same during and after Early Access. If this changes in the future, players will be informed in advance.”

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

“Players are encouraged to join the community Discord server, where they can share feedback, report bugs, suggest improvements, and discuss ideas for the game.

Community feedback plays an important role in helping shape future updates, balance adjustments, quality-of-life improvements, and overall development priorities.”
