Why Early Access?

“The core of the horror genre lies in the pacing of tension, the timing of scares, and total immersion. Because developers inevitably become desensitized to their own mechanics and triggers during production, it is essential to objectively verify whether players actually experience fear at our intended moments. Through Early Access, we aim to gather raw reactions and feedback from the community to fine-tune the game's pacing, puzzle difficulty, and atmospheric sound details, ultimately crafting the most perfect horror experience possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate the Early Access period to last approximately 6 months to a year. However, rather than strictly adhering to a fixed schedule, our goal is to release the full version once we have fully incorporated player feedback and achieved a level of quality that satisfies both us and the community.”

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

“The full version plans to continue the narrative from Chapters 1, 2, and 3 provided in Early Access by introducing Chapters 4 and 5, which serve as the conclusion to the entire story. Furthermore, instead of simply appending the remaining story, we plan to actively analyze community feedback gathered during Early Access to further refine the level design and gameplay balance of the previously released Chapters 1, 2, and 3. Ultimately, our goal is to deliver a fully polished, seamless full-package game from start to finish.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version features fully playable versions of Chapters 1, 2, and 3, covering the story up to its midpoint out of the 5 planned chapters. The unique environments, core mechanics, and puzzle gimmicks assigned to each chapter are fully functional, and internal testing has been completed to ensure an immersive experience up to the end of Chapter 3. It offers the stability of a substantial front-half game rather than an unfinished framework, allowing for an immediate and smooth gameplay experience.”

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

“To express our gratitude to players who believe in the game's potential and join us during the Early Access phase, the game will be offered at a slightly lower price than the full version. We plan to moderately increase the price upon the official release as a substantial amount of new content and features are added.”

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

“We plan to use the Steam Community Hub and official Google Forms as our primary communication channels. Through the Steam Community, we will monitor players' general discussions and reactions, while utilizing Google Forms to systematically gather structured feedback, such as chapter-by-chapter scare difficulty assessments and detailed bug reports. Collected feedback will be reviewed and implemented, and with every major update, we will transparently share through patch notes exactly which community insights led to actual game improvements.”
