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?

“This game is being released in early access so i can continue developing and improving it with feedback from players. The first ending path is still in development, and early access will allow me to expand the game’s story, levels, gameplay, and features, while addressing issues and improving the experience. My goal is to use the player feedback throughout development to help shape the game and make it the best experience possible before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I expect the game to remain in Early Access for roughly 12–18 months, with a tentative target of reaching full release around late 2027. The exact timeframe may change depending on development progress and player feedback.

The game will leave Early Access once the first main level path and its first ending are completed to a standard I am happy with. Until then, I will continue developing, improving, and expanding the game based on feedback and the progress of development.”

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

“The main difference between the Early Access and full versions will be the completion and refinement of the first main level path. In Early Access, this path will still be under development, with some levels and content unfinished or subject to change.

For the full release, the first level path and its first ending will be completed. The levels within the path will also be more polished and refined, with improvements made based on development progress and player feedback.

Early Access will focus on completing this first path, improving the existing content, fixing issues, and making sure the game is in a finished state before leaving Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version currently includes the beginning of the main story, along with the first three levels: Level 0, Level 1, and Level 2.

The game is still actively being developed, so some areas, gameplay elements, and features may be unfinished or subject to change. The current version is intended to provide the beginning of the experience while development continues toward the full first level path and ending.”

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?

“yes i am planning on involving the community to the development in this game, im doing this by having bug reports, feature suggestion, and level suggestion in the discord server ”
