It’s finally time - Finch & Archie is officially being released into Early Access!
The release is NOW LIVE for the last half of Steam's Detective Fest!!! Shout out to Steam for such a good opportunity! Also, the game will be available at a 15% discount for the first week!
As stated on our store page, we’ll be in Early Access for about a year while we work on adding more story content. This will include two brand new cases to solve, each with their own unique crime scene to investigate and cast of characters to interrogate! We’ll also be further developing Finch & Archie’s relationship while advancing the overarching narrative involving The Jackal.
Each new case will be released as and when it is ready, so you won’t be waiting an entire year for new content. In the meantime, enjoy the current Early Access content, and help us out by giving us your honest feedback so that we can continue to refine the gameplay experience for your enjoyment!Early Access will include the Prologue, “Barking Up the Wrong Alley”, as well as Episode 1, “A Shot in the Bark”. Round up your partner and play as either Finch or Archie to solve these mysteries together!We are beyond excited to have reached this point, and can’t wait to see what everyone thinks.
