What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I want to get people in the community involved and receive feedback/criticism as early as possible so I can make the best game I can. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Maybe about a year or two, no promises though.”

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

“I plan to add dozens of liminal levels, each with unique gameplay, a fair roster of uniquely dangerous entities, as well as a collection of dstinct gameplay mechanics.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A playable build with a small handful of levels, an inventory system with a small collection of usable objects, a roster with a couple of entities, a health and sanity system, as well as a moderate amount of quality of life and accessibility features.”

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

“Nah.”

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

“I plan on taking feedback and criticism to the best interest of the majority. I also plan on communicating with the community as much as I can as well as sharing frequent teasers. ”
