Why Early Access?

“Players are a part of the games T.V. show Face-To-Face hosted by Sunny. You submit questions that your favorite crew members will then answer. Players can submit art for in-game auctions, the gallery, or ship dashboard. Early Access is important for me as a sustaining element to continue development and increase momentum.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I'll keep a low early access price to account for the long development time. I plan to release the game 2024. (anticipate 2 more updates)”

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

“Already in Early Access you can build up a small business, but that will be expanded. There is also a deep relationship system that only appears at the very end of the game. Crypterion is meant to have a gameplay loop of earning wealth and spending it and enjoying time with your NPC friends.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In it's current state, play the full main story! There is plenty to do afterwards too.
