Why Early Access?

“Hide and Freak is built around playing with friends, and the best way to make it great is to watch real groups play it. The core game is playable today, and I want your feedback to help decide what chaos come next.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan to be in Early Access for about 6 months, though it may be shorter or longer depending on feedback and how development goes.”

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

“I plan to add more haunted levels beyond the graveyard, each with its own hiding spots, sabotage and activities. I also plan to expand how players find each other online and keep polishing the look, sound and feel, and most importantly core balance. Nothing here is a promise, just where we’re headed.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is playable right now. It includes a rainy graveyard level that’s different every round, online rooms for 3 to 16 players with a simple room code, practice mode against bots, custom player names, and gamepad or keyboard and mouse support. Expect rough edges, bugs and balance changes as we go.”

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

“Nope <3”

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

“I'll be reading Steam discussions and reviews and chatting with players on our Discord. I plan to use feedback to prioritize fixes, new levels and gameplay changes, and to share updates as I ship them. However, I am lazy with this stuff, so keep expectations realistic ;)”
