What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I'm planning to add a lot more esthetic elements around the map and a bit more scares, to give the place the feeling of being lived in more, and give the player a harder time (make it more horrific) and fix any issues that may arise, either bugs or issues with the UX. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The early access my last 4-8 Months”

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

“The game is planned to have some additional features that aren't related to the main story or gameplay like: nightmares system that gives you nightmares if the doctor's evaluation of you comes as negative, some decorative object thrown around the map to give the place the feeling of being lived in, some more random npcs going about their day.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently the main story and gameplay is full and playtested tons by different players, It may contain small typos and tiny visual bugs, refer to the "about this game" section for details about the gameplay (all implemented)”

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

“Currently there are no plans for changing prices after leaving early access”

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