Why Early Access?

“The Undercity is about managing people as well as resources. Its production chains, social pressures, regional machinery and difficult decisions need feedback from different play styles. Early Access will help us refine the balance, make consequences easier to understand and improve performance as colonies grow.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect approximately 6–12 months of Early Access after launch. This estimate may change based on player feedback and development progress.”

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

“We plan to focus on stronger colony management decisions, more varied events, clearer interfaces and better performance and stability. We would also like to deepen longer-term progression beyond the existing civilization milestones. The scope and priorities may change based on testing and player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build lets you grow a refuge into an underground settlement through excavation, construction, upgrades, production, research and workforce management. It includes families, education, social demands, injuries and aging, breakdowns and earthquakes. You can follow the story through cinematics, explore the Thermal Rift, Fungal Sea and Resonant Archive, complete Grand Projects, run surface expeditions and pursue a Civilization Project. The current campaign has a finale, followed by continued colony management. English and Turkish interface text and subtitles are available. Balance, usability and performance are still being refined, and bugs may occur. Progression beyond the current campaign remains limited.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as content and features are added during Early Access and for the full release.”

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

“We plan to use Steam Discussions for bug reports, suggestions and feedback on balance, clarity and colony performance. Reports about difficult-to-understand decisions and growing colonies will help us set priorities. We also plan to share development updates and patch notes on Steam.”
