Why Early Access?

“As a super small studio working on our first title, we rely heavily on gathering community feedback to polish the game to its full potential. Early Access allows us to monitor performance and popularity across different hardware configurations and a wide range of players before delivering more content based on player feedback. We believe that the most important aspect of making a great game is listening to our players and creating a game with our community, not just for them.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Based on our current development pace, we estimate that the game will be in Early Access for about 6 months. However, this timeline is flexible. Depending on player feedback, requests for new features, and the complexity of implementing community-driven changes, the Early Access period could range from 3 to 12 months. Our primary goal is to deliver a game that meets and exceeds your expectations.”

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

“

• More Heart-Pounding Scares: We're constantly adding new scares and anomalies to all levels
  
• Discoverable Background Story Elements will allow you to uncover the deeper lore and backstory of our protagonist and the H.G.d.R.K
  
• Support for other streaming platforms and additional interaction possibilities
  
• Improved Translations and Additional Language Support: to make UNHEIM accessible to players around the globe.
  
• Balancing, gameplay, and polishing updates based on community feedback

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and includes a significant portion of our core gameplay mechanics. You'll have access to four unique levels, each offering four different difficulty settings and featuring individual entity mechanics. We've also implemented a Twitch integration feature, which is already functional and will be expanded with additional interaction options during early access.”

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

“The price of the game will remain the same throughout the Early Access period. However, we may consider adjusting the price upon the full official release, depending on the costs associated with implementing all the features and content our community requests.”

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

“Community involvement is at the core of our development philosophy. That's why we're launching in Early Access—we want to build this game alongside you. We invite you to share your feedback and suggestions through the Steam Discussions and our game's Discord server. Your ideas have been instrumental in shaping the game so far, and we believe that, together, we can craft an experience that truly resonates with players.”
