Why Early Access?

“Social deduction games thrive on player interaction, voice-chat dynamics, and careful role balance across different group sizes. Launching in Early Access allows us to refine role abilities, night-hunting tension, village escape objectives, and tribunal pacing directly alongside our community as real groups play, bluff, and test strategies together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months, depending on community feedback and balance iteration.”

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

“We plan to use Early Access to expand the gameplay experience by introducing interactive mini-games to replace simple progress-bar tasks, along with dedicated post-death activities that keep eliminated players engaged. Our roadmap also includes new hidden villager roles, supernatural monsters, daytime tasks, environmental hazards, and character customization options. Throughout development, we will work closely with our community and leverage real match data to fine-tune role balance, upgrade animations and audio design, expand language support, and continuously polish core mechanics and multiplayer stability.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core match loop is playable from start to finish for 4 to 12 players over Steam Lobbies with proximity voice chat. Players can experience the Day, Evening, and Night cycle; lockable cottages with peepholes and hearth defenses; three monster types (Werewolf, Vampire, and The Thing); special roles (Detective, Doctor, and Traitor); village task chains and cooperative escape routes; morning body inspection; and chapel tribunal voting. However, as an Early Access build, some systems are still in their foundational form—village tasks currently use hold-to-complete interactions rather than full mini-games, eliminated players currently spectate without post-death abilities, and players may still encounter occasional UI, networking, or balance bugs in larger lobbies that we are actively working to fix.”

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

“We plan to offer the game at a lower price during Early Access to thank our early supporters. As we introduce new roles, interactive task mini-games, and major content updates leading toward the full launch, we plan to moderately increase the price.”

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

“We will actively engage with players through the Steam Community Hub and our Discord server to collect feedback on gameplay feel, role balance, and bug reports. Because social deduction relies heavily on subtle group dynamics, we also analyze community discussions. Player feedback will directly shape our priority list for bug fixes, new roles, and upcoming interactive task mini-games throughout Early Access.”
