What is included in Early Access?

The Early Access version of The Shadows Within: Nightmare's Game includes:

  • A fully playable story mode, allowing players to experience the core narrative and immerse themselves in the game's world.

  • An online multiplayer mode, though some areas and maps are currently limited. More content will be added as we move closer to full release.

  • Core gameplay mechanics such as combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving, providing a comprehensive gameplay experience.

  • Ongoing work on optimization and AI improvements, which will continue to evolve with player feedback.

What is the current state of the game?

The game is fully playable in both single-player and multiplayer modes. However, the Early Access version is still being fine-tuned in areas such as performance optimization, AI behavior, and balancing of the various game modes. Some features like cross-platform play and expanded online maps will be introduced in the full release. While the core game is solid, we will be relying on player feedback to identify and address any remaining bugs or improvements.

How long will the game be in Early Access?

We plan to keep the game in Early Access for 1 to 3 months. During this time, we will work closely with our community to address any issues, refine the gameplay, and prepare for a full release across all platforms.

How often will you be updating the game?

We will be updating the game regularly during Early Access. Expect frequent updates, particularly in the early stages, as we integrate feedback and improve features. These updates will include performance optimizations, bug fixes, and potentially new content such as maps or improvements to game modes.

Will my progress be saved during updates?

We aim to ensure that your progress will be saved during updates. However, given that this is an Early Access release, there is always the possibility of unforeseen changes that might require a reset. If that happens, we will communicate it clearly to the community ahead of time.

Will the price change when the game leaves Early Access?

Yes, the price will increase after Early Access. We are offering the game at a lower price during this period as a way to thank players for their early support and feedback. Once the game reaches full release with additional content and features, the price will reflect that added value.

Can I provide feedback and bug reports?

Absolutely! We highly encourage players to provide feedback and report any bugs they encounter. You can do this through our Discord server, Reddit **Epic Games forums**, or in-game feedback options. Your input is essential for us to improve the game and create the best possible experience for everyone.
