FaelandTalegames · entered 5 Dec 2023FaelandTalegames · entered 5 Dec 2023We are close to the finish line. Early Access already includes the first five chapters out of six, and the final chapter is feature complete. We are now focused on polish and preparing the multiplatform release. Early Access started in December 2023, and as a small team, we would rather take the extra time needed than rush version 1.0. Our current goal is to leave Early Access with the full 1.0 release, alongside the console versions. We will share updated release timing once the remaining release steps are confirmed.read 9 Sep 20261 monthuntil 31 Dec 20232 years 9 months3339%Overdueby 2 years 8 months

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.
