What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We aim to release the game to players during the middle of its development to ensure we create the best possible experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The goal is to fully release the game in 2025, but this timeline might shift based on new feature additions and the game's development during early access.”

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

“During the early access period, we intend to significantly expand the content. We plan to include additional equipment, maps, and ghosts, as well as community-suggested content. We also intend to streamline the gameplay and enhance all existing systems to bring the game to its full potential.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As a fresh new game, Abnormality currently offers players a wide range of ghost hunting equipment, with multiple maps to explore. We are hoping to add lots of content routinely and hope to continue to expand as development progresses.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The plan is for the price to be be adjusted during the early access period once we have introduced a substantial amount of new content. It is currently our plan to increase the price when the game officially exits early access. However, we will always provide players with ample notice before making any pricing changes.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to engage with the community in every stage of development, providing feedback and suggestions through the Steam Discussions and our Discord server. We hope those who regularly contribute feedback will have the opportunity to participate in private betas for development builds, allowing them to directly influence the game's future.”
