What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is quite meager and pitiful at the moment. Wanting what is best for Childrens Story, Early Access allows more time for the game to become the cream of the crop by time for full release. During this time feedback will be considered and could potentially help to influence episodes in time for full release”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Full release planned later 2027”

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

“The plan by full release is to have a full completed collection of tapes which players can select from. During early access the plan is to roll out these tapes with updates, receive feedback, and polish in time for full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version features the available Demo Tape, along with more tapes planned to be apart of Early access release.”

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

“You better believe it buster. ”

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

“Discord for community engagement along with X for posts along with development progress.”
