| Fortune's RunFortune's Run | At the speed we are currently working, we expect to be finished with the full version by the end of 2026. Since that is far into the future, we've decided to structure the game as standalone chronological missions so that you can enjoy regular updates instead of having to wait three more years to play the full version. We will also be live-patching the game with bug fixes and smaller features throughout the year, of course! You can see our track record on the demo, which is usually patched within the week when bugs are found.read 8 Sep 2026 | about 3 years | 3 years | 99% | On the clockDue this month | |
| Escape ConditionEscape Condition | I estimate leaving Early Access by fall 2026. 1.0 is planned for 8/21/26 and will include the foundational 3 missions. New testers are being brought in to give feedback on the game's latest iteration which has made world impacts more severe, simplified the RPG mechanics, and vastly improved graphics and sound design.read 14 Sep 2026 | 3 years 4 monthsuntil 30 Nov 2026 | 3 years 2 months | 94% | On the clock2 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.
