Why early access?

We want to develop The Black Ice project together with you. At this stage, it is very important for us to receive feedback from players.
Over the past year and a half, we have laid a solid foundation for the project. However, there is always room for improvement. Thank you for being with us.

How long will this game be in early access?

Presumably 1 to 1.5 years.

How will the planned full version differ from the early access version?

The full version of The Black Ice will be significantly expanded in all key areas:

  • Story and World: We will complete the main story arc, adding new locations and characters that reveal the history of the universe.

  • Gameplay: The combat system will be improved, new types of interaction with the environment and new enemy AI will be added, along with new bosses and enemy types.

  • Technical Improvements: Performance optimization, support for new languages, and improved stability on various PC configurations.

  • Atmosphere and Immersion: A complete overhaul of the sound design system, the addition of body and object physics, and destruction physics.

What is the current status of the early access version?

Currently, there are approximately 3-4 hours of gameplay in Early Access. We've implemented key mechanics: inventory management, exploration and environmental interaction, and a basic combat/stealth system. At this stage, the game visually and audio accurately captures our intended atmosphere—a horror game set in a remote scientific station.

Will the price of the game change after it leaves early access?

Yes, let's be honest – the price will be higher. This is justified by the fact that a large amount of new content will be added to the game, which will give you a new gaming experience, but will increase the cost of development for us.

How do you plan to involve the community in the game's development?

We actively manage communities on VK, Telegram, TikTok, YouTube, and others. We regularly collect feedback and refine the project based on the requests and suggestions of players who purchased the game in Early Access.
We also regularly watch streams of our game and almost always visit to chat with players in real time.

Will I have access to the product during the entire Early Access phase?

Yes.
