Why Early Access?

“We are choosing Early Access because we want to give our customers a prospective about what our game is going to be upon full release. We are also going on early access because we believe that customer feedback is a huge part of game development!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our game will be on Early Access for approximately a year with our full release planned for late 2018 or early 2019.”

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

“Our full version game is planned to have controller support, achievements, a more flushed out branching story line, six more regions and added enemies! Each region is planned to identify with one of the following boss "Fears"

Fear of Heights: This region is currently planned to take place in a mountain region with new flying enemy's, additional unique items, and weapon upgrades.

Fear of Darkness: This region is planned to be within the long forgotten catacombs of the world. Lighting effects are planned to be a major puzzle element.

Fear of Ugliness: This region is planned take place in a abandoned waste disposal facility. There will be many traps and additional unique items.

Fear of Viruses: This region is planned to exist in the digital sense. It will be focused around cyber space and have a technical feel.

Fear of Small Spaces: This region is planned to be a labyrinth surrounding the hub city. The last challenge to the player before facing Fear itself.

Hub Region : This region is planned to be in the center connecting all other regions, with many hidden surprises.

Each unique region is planned to have a specific game-play mechanic to learn, usually through the use of a unique item found within the region. Players will also be able to find permanent stat boosts, and main weapon upgrades if they chose to explore.

Armour parts: This is something we plan on adding further down the line. Armour parts with provide a large boost in one stat while sacrificing another. For example armor focused on player power will cost speed.

Alignment: We plan to have our Alignment mechanic implemented within the second completed region. Alignment will be effected by game-play choices. It will affect the environment and story as the game progresses.”
