The Forgettable DungeonHappy Box Games LLC · entered 21 Oct 2019The Forgettable DungeonHappy Box Games LLC · entered 21 Oct 2019I plan to keep the game in early access for about 6 months, as this will give me enough time to finish more content, extra features, and fix any bugs along the way. However nothing is set in stone, and I just want to make the full release have a good amount of content, and be polished.read 11 Sep 2026about 6 months6 years 11 months1380%Overdueby 6 years 5 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.
