Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.
Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development
Why Early Access?
“We have had a long-standing passion for narrative and simulation games, and to create the best possible experience, we recognize the need for community involvement. Early Access provides a unique opportunity to work with players and shape the direction of the game, ensuring that it meets the needs and desires of the community. As the game is still in development, players can expect exciting changes and updates to the gameplay, making it an ever-evolving experience.”
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“The duration of Early Access is subject to player engagement and interest in the project. We're committed to delivering a polished and complete game, and will exit Early Access once the story arc has been fully realized. If the game proves to be successful and well-received, our goal is to transition out of Early Access within up to 2 years.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“We plan to expand the game world with additional gameplay tiers, new locations, and richer storyline branches. We plan to add more customization options, advanced NPC routines, additional criminal scenarios, and new features like dynamic town events. In the final release we plan to include fully developed character arcs, more mini-games, expanded relationship mechanics, and polishing across the board – including UI/UX, performance, and audio-visual improvements. We’re also planning to add voice acting and achievement support.”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“The current Early Access version includes the full core gameplay loop: managing and customizing your saloon, preparing and serving drinks and dishes, and influencing customer behavior. Players can explore two gameplay tiers, each with distinct mechanics and storyline progression. You can hire staff, invest in new ventures like a hotel or gambling pit, and build relationships with various NPCs. Criminal underworld interactions and multiple mini-games are also already available. All major systems are functional and being continuously improved based on community feedback.”
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“Price varies based on content. Early Access players get all upcoming content. Price increases gradually with new features.”
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
“To foster an active and engaging community, the game features a Discord server that can be accessed directly from the main menu, providing a platform for players to connect, share ideas, and offer suggestions.”
