Coming Soon To Early Access

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Your feedback is especially valuable for helping to shape GlowFall. My goal is to be able to iterate over your reviews and opinions early to help speed up the development process and ultimately shape a more polished experience. I also aim to use this input to not only support debugging efforts, but also to form elements of the story and mechanics.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“GlowFall will likely be in early access for 2 years or well into 2028.”

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

“As far as content goes, I plan to add improved the procedural generation of worlds, two bosses Abyss and Muul, more aquatic and land creatures, and extensions to the storyline/lore.

For UX, I plan to integrate Steam achievements, more language support, controller support, in game commands, more world management info, and improved UI features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version currently features two bosses NightFall and Stygian, 70+ items to craft or collect, an upgradable clasp spell casting system, three base enemies, 6 unique creatures (some having multiple variations and being interactable with), 20+ minerals and flora (most capable of aging or being foraged), structures, and loot chests.

The UI features a mini-map, tooltips, stat bars, and dedicated interfaces for containers and crafting.

It currently also features seed based procedurally generated worlds that can come in three sizes and geography types. There is also a settings menu to adjust the UI, key binds, audio, or graphics.”

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

“I am not planning on changing the price after Early Access.”

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

“I plan on involving the community in development through direct feedback from the Steam Community Hub.”

About This Game

GlowFall is a sci-fantasy survival game set in a world starved of light. A curse born of darkness and fueled by grief ravenously seeks to rid the world of every last energy source. A dark, rainy realm is what is left in the wake of its destruction.

Resource Ecology

Explore the bioluminescent environment and its many ways of having adapted to the abyss. Forage, mine, fish, and interact with creatures to gather and craft items that will be useful for your survival. Defeat enemies and search through chests within stone ruins to gather more loot. 

Gain experience along the way to level up. This will increase attributes that will aid you in traversing this world and fighting the Abyssals that threaten your survival.  

The Abyss

The curse continues to seek your energy and uses powerful vessels called Abyssals to attack. Each class of Abyssal, including the bosses, has its own set of attack patterns, mostly inspired by chess pieces. 

When you are ready, search out the different boss summoning locations and complete objectives to bring about these powerful foes.
