Why Early Access?

“The game is released in chapters. We want to put out each of the first few chapters once it's in a good state, so players can try them out and give us feedback. That way we can optimize and adjust the game based on player feedback before building the following chapters, and use the revenue from Early Access to raise the quality of the game ahead of the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“1 year, with a hard upper estimate of 8 years,
(The original plan was 12 months. Significant difficulties arose for both the development team and the developer. We're very sorry.)”

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

“The Early Access version lets you play Chapters 1–3 as they currently stand, and each of those chapters already has its gameplay, story, cutscene direction and art finished.
The full version will have 5 chapters in total, including at least 3 proper endings (not counting the death endings you hit along the way).
Gamepad support, key remapping, Ctrl to fast-forward and other features are already being implemented. The story of the first three chapters will also be polished further based on everything we've learned over these years.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version lets you play Chapters 1–3 as they currently stand. Each chapter has completed gameplay, story, cutscene direction and art, and offers roughly 45 minutes of playable content.”

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

“The price of the game is planned to increase for the full release.”

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

“During Early Access and after each update, the developer checks the store page and the discussion boards roughly every two weeks and replies to player comments wherever possible. There is also an open community group for players, where you can ask questions, give feedback, and follow development progress directly.”
