We're seeing a few of the same questions come up regularly on our update posts, so we just wanted to do another quick FAQ to answer them.
When is the game releasing?
It's currently scheduled for an Early Access release in 2024. We'll reveal more infomation on specific timing soon. We have a roadmap we're pretty confident we can hit, but we want to make sure we're tracking correctly before we announce anything.
What does Early Access mean?
You can read a little bit more about Early Access on Steam here.
If I buy the game when it's released in Early Access, will I have to pay for the full version?
Nope. If you purchase the game in Early Access, you won't have to pay anything more for the full release when it comes out. We value you committing to our game early, so you'll be able to download that version as an update without paying any additional costs.
Does Early Access mean I have to put up with it being buggy or broken?
Not at all. Our intention with releasing our game in Early Access is not to release something unfinished, unpolished or unplayable. The intention is an enjoyable, high-quality gameplay experience that we can then add more content to in response to player feedback. No developer on Earth can promise a game entirely without bugs (touch wood!) but all our games go through established processes for quality assurance and playtesting before reaching you, and we have an experienced development team who are well versed in creating fixes, along with a solid community team who'll be monitoring all player feedback.
Will there be a demo before release?
A demo is something we're actively considering. More on that soon.
Will there be a multiplayer version?
Not for now. This is a single-player game where you're in charge of a group of survivors, and that's the experience we're focused on delivering.
Will it be available for console or mobile?
We're focusing on getting the PC version right for now. We're not ruling out a console or mobile version in the future but that's not our team's focus currently. Getting this PC version right is our priority.
