I am a solo dev, and while I've tried to plan this game out efficiently it'll take me a while to work through it all. My best guess is that Into Evil will be in Early Access for ~2 years. As such, while I'd love for you to play Into Evil as soon as possible, please only buy the Early Access version if you like the look of what's there currently. :)read 13 Sep 2026about 2 years10 months43%On the clock14 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.
