Why Early Access?

There are a number of reasons why we decided to go the path of Early Access, out of which we want to highlight is the following:

The cornerstone of our development philosophy is to work in tandem with our community and listen to their feedback. Since the very beginning of the development process we have been asking and analyzing suggestions from our players.

Secondly Phantom Line is a deep immersive sim that requires a vast number of interconnected systems. Balancing them is crucial to make the experience fun and challenging. This cannot be achieved behind closed doors.

We are launching Phantom Line into Early Access to ensure we can deliver the most engaging, entertaining and fun experience possible.

What is included in Early Access?

The Early Access version includes an open world map with various locations and dynamic events, fighting humans’ factions, wild animals, and a number of anomalies that appear across the world. Players can explore, gather resources, craft and upgrade their gear and base of operations.

How long will the game be in Early Access?

We believe it will be around 1 year. That said, as we will move forward with the development, deliver updates and gather feedback, we will be able to share a more detailed timeframe for a full launch.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

We are planning to expand the playable area, number of enemies, types of anomalies, crafting and base upgrades possibilities.

We want to adjust the final scope based on the feedback from the community and deliver what they need for the full release.

Will the price change when the game leaves Early Access?

Once the game will be ready to leave Early Access, we’ll reevaluate its price point and make our decision.

Are there items (such as additional content, offers or currency) for sale that are used in the gameplay of your product?

Yes, we plan to offer you items you can use inside the game, share with friends, and enjoy together. You can enjoy the game without any add-ons.

We are still early in the development process, so we will share more details as we move forward.

Can your product be used without making any in-app purchases?

Yes, you do not need to buy any in-app purchases. You can enjoy the game without any add-ons.

Are in-app purchases refundable?

It is difficult to say. It is very early in our design and development process, and we will try to provide you with more information as we progress with development.

What payment platform is used to facilitate these purchases? Do you use Epic Games’ platform or a 3rd-party (including your own) payment system?

You will most likely be able to use the Epic Games’ platform or a 3rd-party payment system provider. It is difficult to say now how the system will work as we are still designing it.

Can I provide feedback and bug reports?

Yes, you are more than welcome to share your feedback. The best place to do that would be our discord.

In general we want to gather feedback and watch players' streams. We will be reading through the comments and conversation about Phantom Line to get a broader understanding of the players perspective. We will be actively looking for possibilities to implement constructive feedback in the game to better balance it, deliver fun time and communicate with the players.
