As we've already announced, we'll be merging all three into one game. This will take longer for the final release, but the overall quality will be better. The Early Access will stop with the full release of the game that will happen during 2026.read 8 Sep 20263 years 11 monthsuntil 31 Dec 20263 years 7 months92%On the clock4 months left

A game is in Early Access when the store lists it among its genres; the clock starts on the day the ledger saw it enter or, for a game that launched into Early Access, on the release date the store prints. The promise is the developer’s own questionnaire answer, kept word for word; only ranges and single figures are compared, open answers are listed as open, and answers the parser could not read say so. Graduations are recorded from 3 Sep 2026, so earlier years undercount them. A game whose questionnaire has not been read yet says “not read yet” under No promise (how). Data by SteamPeaks.com.
