What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are launching in Early Access to involve our community in shaping the final vision of the game. Early Access allows us to gather feedback from players and refine gameplay mechanics, adjust balance, and add additional features based on what the community values most. Our goal is to ensure the game offers a robust and enjoyable experience at full launch, and Early Access is essential for iterating on that vision.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access is expected to conclude by early to mid-2025.”

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

“In the full version, we plan to expand on the content and features currently available. While we cannot promise exact features, we are exploring the possibility of adding more maps, items, and refining controller support and adding VR compatibility. We plan to enrich the gameplay experience with new mechanics and content based on community feedback throughout Early Access. Our main goal is to ensure the game reaches a polished and complete state before the full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version currently includes the following features:

- 18 unique items to find, scattered across the world, essential for discovering clues and progressing in the game.
A large open world where players can freely explore, search for clues, and collect necessary items.

- Three main map locations where players will encounter the main boss. These locations offer unique challenges and require strategy to overcome.

- A large interconnected road system that players must drive through to reach different locations, either to find key items or unlock new areas.

- The ghost journal, available at the main map locations where the main bosses hide, allows players to purchase items that can assist in completing objectives or provide other gameplay benefits.

- Speak with your voice using a ghost radio to communicate with the creature and complete various quests. This feature adds a unique layer of interaction and immersion.

- Identify the type of creature you are facing from 37 different types, each with unique attributes. Successfully identifying the creature and escaping with your team will grant you a major reward, encouraging strategic gameplay and cooperation.

- Fully functional core gameplay mechanics, including item collection, driving, exploration, VOIP, and communication via the ghost radio to communicate with the creature.

The game is fully playable from start to finish in its current state. However, we are still working on expanding the world by adding more levels, new characters, and enhancing existing content. Players can expect regular updates that will include new gameplay options, polished visuals and sound effects, and balance improvements based on feedback.””

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

“During Early Access, we will offer frequent discounts. Once the game reaches full release, the base price will be higher.”

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

“We are deeply committed to community involvement. Players can join our Discord to provide feedback directly to the developers. We will be actively reviewing suggestions for balancing, content, and gameplay improvements, and will use this feedback to shape upcoming updates and features. Community feedback will help prioritize features and ensure the game grows in a direction that resonates with our players.”
