Why Early Access?

“《SUFFERING》is our first indie game, and we hope to do our best to make it better. Steam EA has helped us a lot, allowing us to hear from real players about the game in advance, and these suggestions are very important for us to keep tweaking and optimizing the game in the proper way, and it also will give us a chance to learn quickly and improve efficiently. Our members are all indie game lovers, we are very eager to know whether the players will look forward to the game, and what will the real players care about.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“《SUFFERING》is an indie game that can continues to expand its content, offering more reincarnation, more enemies, more weapons, more abilities, more items, more special commands, and more difficulty modes. EA will last a long time. (Thanks to everyone who has supported SUFFERING through KS and Steam. Based on the current progress and remaining production, we expect to finish the early Access stage by the end of this year at the earliest)”

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

“For EA, players will be able to challenge all the bosses in the first reincarnation, including defeating the final BOSS for the first time to finish the game, so the players can fully understand the core story set of《SUFFERING》.
For the release vision, it's important to add all contents of the second reincarnation, which will double the length of time to play the game, and we will also make the bosses behave better, the fights more playable. We have a lot of ideas to join in, such as design a more distinctive roles of BOSS, more interesting types of weapons, more distinctive ability moves, the more wonderful items and add more specific instructions to develop leading role of combat routines, and so on. Of course, we want the release version to have a smoother experience, better art, better music and even more cutscenes. It's also about making appropriate optimizations based on suggestions from the community, maybe the best idea is from one of the player's suggestion.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current EA version already includes the full story mode of first reincarnation, which has three story chapters, nine bosses, and four specters to to be explored and collect. Even if you are very good at turn-based games, it may take more than 20 hours to complete the story mode of first reincarnation (explore by yourself).We're still working on more content, and we hope the final version will give players a more unique turn-based suffering experience.”

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

“After EA is over, the addition of more new content and new mode will definitely lead to higher production costs, and we may have to adjust the price slightly.”
