Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The main campaign of Tail and Chaos is already playable from beginning to end, but we want to improve the game together with the community before version 1.0. Player feedback will help us refine build variety, balance, routes, Expedition mode, controls, accessibility, performance, and long-term caravan progression.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect the Early Access period to last approximately 6–12 months. This estimate may change depending on player feedback, the scope of required improvements, and the time needed to reach the desired quality for version 1.0.”

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

“We plan to improve balance, interface clarity, accessibility features, performance, localization, and overall presentation. We also intend to further develop Expedition mode, the caravan, and post-campaign progression. Available content may expand based on community feedback, and specific plans may change during development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version can be played from beginning to end. It contains three connected 30-minute acts, three heroes, weapons, upgrades, synergies, evolutions, route choices, events, elite enemies, and three bosses in each act.

Expedition mode connects all three acts into a single journey. Players choose a Caravan Law and a rescued specialist, carry one item between acts, and receive a combined final score.

The game also includes permanent progression, 47 achievements, an encyclopedia, and Russian and English interfaces. Keyboard, controller, and mouse input are supported, alongside interface scaling and adaptation for 16:10 displays.

The game is still being improved, so players may encounter balance, presentation, or technical issues.”

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

“Yes. The Early Access price is lower than the planned price of the full version. We plan to increase the price when the game leaves Early Access and reaches version 1.0. We do not currently plan to increase the base price during Early Access. Any price change will be announced in advance.”

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

“We monitor Steam Discussions, reviews, and bug reports, and publish development news and update notes. Recurring feedback influences our priorities for balance, interface design, accessibility, controls, performance, and technical fixes leading up to version 1.0.”

About This Game

Tail and Chaos is a colorful top-down action roguelite about a caravan of meerkats making its way through a living, dangerous world.

Choose one of three heroes, assemble a deadly combination of weapons and upgrades, and survive until the end of a 30-minute act. Weapons attack automatically—you only need to keep moving, dodge danger, collect experience, and make decisions that shape the entire run.

BUILD YOUR LOADOUT

Fill eight shared slots with weapons and upgrades. Level them up, unlock synergies, and transform familiar attacks into powerful final forms. Every new choice can completely change the way you play.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH

The caravan encounters branching routes and events throughout its journey. Safer paths offer a chance to recover, while dangerous ones increase enemy pressure and promise richer rewards. The consequences of your choices last until the end of the act.

CONQUER THREE ACTS

Cross scorching dunes, a moonlit riverbed, and the harsh Plateau of Dawn. Each act features its own enemies, elite foes, events, and three bosses standing in the caravan's way.

EMBARK ON AN EXPEDITION

Link all three acts into one continuous journey. Choose a hero, a Caravan Law, and a rescued specialist for the entire Expedition. Rest between acts, carry one acquired item into your next build at level one, and resume your journey later from a saved camp. Each act starts with a fresh build, so that single carried item can shape everything that follows.

GROW YOUR CARAVAN

Earn coins, purchase permanent upgrades, complete achievements, and fill your encyclopedia. Every new victory unlocks the next chapter of the journey and expands the caravan's possibilities.
