What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to involve our community directly in the development process of NOT Home Free. As an indie studio building a 4-player cooperative survival horror game, player feedback is essential for us to balance gameplay mechanics, refine the liminal atmosphere, expand monster behaviors, and introduce new features. Early Access allows us to work closely with players, iterate based on real gameplay data, and ensure the full release is the best version of the game possible”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“2-3 years depending on public interest”

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

“New home defense tactics, a giant bestiary of creatures, and a 40-50-hour cooperative world.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable in both 4-player online co-op and single-player modes. Currently, players can experience core gameplay loops including fortifying the house, managing survival resources, surviving nighttime entity attacks, and utilizing proximity voice chat. For a full breakdown of all current features, gameplay mechanics, and implemented content, please refer to the "About This Game" section on the store page.”

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

“I don't think so”

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

“Events for new creatures and suggestions for new locations on the discord server”

About This Game

Your partner is trapped, and the walls of your shelter are cracking under the onslaught of creatures. You won’t survive this alone. Coordinate your defense, pull each other from the jaws of death, and when things go wrong, at least make sure your teammates hear about it - voice chat is on by default.

Scavenge for resources, repair devices, and build your own traps. Creativity is your greatest weapon. If you’re not prepared when night falls, it won’t spare anyone.
