Why Early Access?

“The game already has a lot of content, but its story isn't finished yet. I'm releasing in Early Access so players know they aren't buying a complete story, and so I can use their feedback on balance, bugs and new features to shape the rest of development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan for the game to leave early access April-June 2027.”

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

“The full version will have the complete story implemented, more nights, more bosses and the story's endings. I plan to keep updating the game with new content after the full release too.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable, though some bugs are to be expected. The current game spans 15 nights, which takes about 2 hours if you play without dying. The game is run-based so if you die, your run ends and you start over from the beginning. There's plenty to do outside the nightly defense, like building, hunting, fishing, mining, crafting, tech, and magic, so every new run is a chance to discover something new or try a different approach.”

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

“There are no plans to change the price after Early Access. All updates, including the full release, are free for everyone who owns the game.”

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

“Players can join the Discord server or use the Steam discussion forums to suggest features, report bugs and follow development. I also run some community events.”
