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?

“Vesper Observatory is made by a very small independent studio, and it is already a big game: ten heroes, thirteen realms, co-op expeditions with friends, crafting, companions and an online economy. A game this size needs many players to find what we cannot catch on our own. Early Access lets us release a complete, playable game now and keep improving it in the open with you, update by update.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 12 months. We will leave Early Access once the online systems have proven themselves with many players and the content we plan for 1.0 is in.”

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

“More of everything the Observatory is built on: new realms and monsters, more heroes and companions, more story and co-op play, plus polish across balance, effects and performance guided by your feedback. Your progress carries over: we do not plan to reset accounts at any point, including when the game leaves Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Fully playable from your first night in the Observatory to the endgame: ten heroes with ascended forms, thirteen realms with their bosses, the Crucible, crafting at the Stellar Anomaly, Spirit Familiars and Spirit Guardians, and co-op expeditions with friends. Some systems have not yet been tested with many players at once, so expect bugs and balance changes. We fix what you report quickly.”

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

“No. Vesper Observatory is free to play during and after Early Access. Ada's Treasury offers optional purchases, and every hero, familiar and draw can also be earned with Renown from play.”

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

“Every report counts: write to us from the note in the Observatory's upper left corner, which reaches the team directly, or in the Steam discussions. Each update comes with patch notes in the game, and player feedback steers balance and the order in which new content arrives.”

About This Game

A Victorian steampunk fantasy RPG of magic, companionship, and otherworldly expedition.

An abandoned observatory wakes. Its air is thick with enigmatic magic. Its rooms keep secrets and artifacts older than any legend.

Command Vesper Observatory. Awaken the Astral Wanderer. When it answers, it can cast the curious across the veil  into jungle and desert realms, ice and fire domains, and oceans yet undiscovered.

Exploration is wonder. Exploration is peril. Between them walk friendship, loyalty, and resolve: the small circle that dares the unknown, and grows with every soul who answers the call.

Manage the Observatory. Trust your team. Chase what waits beyond. Dive into exploration and the adventure of the unknown.
