Why Early Access?

“Indeterminate is playable from start to finish today, but it is an asymmetric multiplayer horror game, and games like this can only be balanced properly by being played by many real groups. We are launching in Early Access so we can tune the Indeterminates, survivors, perks and evidence alongside the people playing, and find and fix the bugs that only show up in real matches, while we continue building toward the full release.

Our goals during Early Access are to:
- Balance every Indeterminate and survivor using player feedback
- Build the campaign story mode
- Expand the roster of Indeterminates and add more intricate, map-specific puzzles
- Improve stability, performance and the single-player experience

We intend to keep developing Indeterminate through to its full release, reading feedback and releasing regular updates throughout Early Access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last until around early 2027, though this may change based on community feedback and how development progresses.”

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

“We plan to add:
- A full campaign story mode
- More Indeterminates, with the goal of bringing the roster to 10
- More intricate, map-specific puzzles
- A more capable AI killer for single player
- Ongoing balance changes, bug fixes and performance improvements shaped by community feedback

These plans may change as we learn from players during Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version has complete, playable matches in both online multiplayer and single player:
- 9 playable Indeterminates, each with its own abilities, forms and kills: Banshee, Beast, Entity, Intruder, Pestilence, Psychopath, Shade and Witch
- 4 playable survivors, each with unique abilities: Edwin, Jessica, Jane and Patrick Varga
- 3 maps: The Holmes Estate, Father Joseph's Grounds and the Abandoned Asylum
- Survivor objective: gather evidence with tools such as cameras and sound sensors, record it in your journal, identify the Indeterminate hunting you and perform the banishment ritual
- Killer progression: the Indeterminate Powers perk tree with savable loadouts, and an ability wheel
- Online multiplayer for up to 8 players, with public and private lobbies, proximity voice chat and spectating
- Single player: play as a survivor against an AI-controlled Indeterminate. This mode is basic for now; the AI follows simpler behavior than a human killer and does not use the perk tree
- A tutorial
- Dynamic weather (rain and fog) and usable in-game computers
- Interface translated into 9 languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, German, French, Russian, Korean and Japanese. Voiced lines are English only.

The campaign is not yet available, balance is still being tuned, and you may run into bugs.”

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

“We're not planning on changing the price when we leave Early Access.”

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

“Community feedback will directly shape development throughout Early Access. Feedback from the Steam discussion forums (and our Discord) will guide balance changes to the Indeterminates and survivors, how much agency the killer has, and which features we work on first. Player bug reports will help us find and fix problems quickly, and we plan to post regular updates explaining what has changed and why.”
