What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are releasing our first chapter of the game and would like to involve and share with the community as we build and release more chapters to this title.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“12 months.”

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

“We plan to release a chapter every few months. We will be releasing a new chapter to the game every few months that intends to be the final version of that chapter. However, there may be minor bug fixes and improvements made after the release of each chapter. The final version will include all the chapters with any additional content we decide to add.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The first chapter of the game is in a near-complete state with only some bug fixing and polishing left for us to patch up. The first chapter contains the full story and narrative that is intended for the final release and is representative of the final product. While in Early Access, we plan to release improvements and bug fixes to existing chapters while building up our new chapters. There will be a total of three chapters at launch with a possibility for more chapters at post-launch. See the previous answer for more details.”

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

“Both will be free.”

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

“Through our social channels, the community is welcome to submit any feedback and we will be updating the community as well about the development of this project. Through the Steam Community Page, Facebook, Twitter, and Discord Channels, we will be listening to feedback and involve the community. We may include feedback to existing chapters or structure future chapters based on the feedback we get from players.”
