Why Early Access?

“Our primary goal is to entertain players for at least 100 hours. The game is functionally fully made but requires substantial feedback from players for the sake of balancing, quality-of-life improvements, and gameplay experience. We have a strong sense of loyalty to our growing fanbase. We anticipate more Art, more Lore, more Fun.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Haunted Space Hotel: Vacancy to be in Early Access development at least through the end of 2025. Given the nature of Early Access development, we don't have a specific end date planned at this time.”

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

“We expect the full version of Haunted Space Hotel: Vacancy to include a more-complete, more-polished set of features and content in comparison to the Early Access version, along with Steam Achievements and the true ending to the story.

During Early Access, our plan is to release Minor Updates every few weeks containing new features and content, followed soon after by patches to shore up any issues. An in-game Development Roadmap provides more context on where we're at in development and our current priorities.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game right now is very playable and really fun. All of the core activities shown in the “About This” section are ready right now.

There are over 100 Completed Features in the game already, these include but are not limited to:
Core Rules, Action Selection, Time, Core Actions including: Research, Lodging, Staff, Renovation, Advertisement and Ghost. 3D NPC Controllers for Guests, Guest Ships, Ghosts, and Navigation.

We have a roadmap which includes details for over 100 additional features we anticipate including before version 1.0. This includes but is not limited to:
Step by Step “how to play” in-game training. Custom Soundtrack. Voice acting by some really awesome actors. Slime. Quests. Achievements. 3 new Ghost types. Way more special effects. Tourists. Additional Guest interactions and feedback. And more.

Please do give us lots of feedback on our forums.”

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

“Price will not change when we leave early access.”
