Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«Our full version game is planned to have controller support, achievements, a more flushed out branching story line, six more regions and added enemies! Each region is planned to identify with one of the following boss "Fears"

Fear of Heights: This region is currently planned to take place in a mountain region with new flying enemy's, additional unique items, and weapon upgrades.

Fear of Darkness: This region is planned to be within the long forgotten catacombs of the world. Lighting effects are planned to be a major puzzle element.

Fear of Ugliness: This region is planned take place in a abandoned waste disposal facility. There will be many traps and additional unique items.

Fear of Viruses: This region is planned to exist in the digital sense. It will be focused around cyber space and have a technical feel.

Fear of Small Spaces: This region is planned to be a labyrinth surrounding the hub city. The last challenge to the player before facing Fear itself.

Hub Region : This region is planned to be in the center connecting all other regions, with many hidden surprises.

Each unique region is planned to have a specific game-play mechanic to learn, usually through the use of a unique item found within the region. Players will also be able to find permanent stat boosts, and main weapon upgrades if they chose to explore.

Armour parts: This is something we plan on adding further down the line. Armour parts with provide a large boost in one stat while sacrificing another. For example armor focused on player power will cost speed.

Alignment: We plan to have our Alignment mechanic implemented within the second completed region. Alignment will be effected by game-play choices. It will affect the environment and story as the game progresses.»
