Preparing for Launch & Frequently Asked Questions

January 15th Launch Details

Hi Everyone,

The team had a nice break over the holidays but we're back to work preparing for our upcoming launch on January 15th! Thought I'd take a moment and review some frequently asked questions and let you know about what we're working on.

When is the game releasing?
January 15th, 2024

Is it 1.0 or Early Access Release?
1.0

What platforms are you releasing on?
PC initially, hope to release on PlayStation and Xbox at a later date.

What storefronts will you be on?
Steam and GOG for sure, talking with some others but nothing confirmed

What languages will be available on release?
English only at release, if the game sells well we'll use some of the revenue to fund other localizations.

Will there be voiceover?
Not at launch, hoping to do this as part of a definitive edition some day if the game sells well.

How long is the finished game
Most players will take 8-12 hours depending on reading speed and the number of side quests they do. There are multiple endings as well, so you'd need to replay a few times to see everything and get all the achievements.

How much will you sell the game for?
$19.99 USD with standard Steam regional discounts and a 10% launch discount.

Does the game work on Steam Deck?
Yes, we're still waiting for Valve's Steam Deck build review certification but we've built the game with their Steam Deck Development Guidelines in mind and our internal testing has been good.

Does the game have controller support?
Yes

I'm in gaming media, can I get a review key?
Evolve PR is handling our key distribution through their Terminals.io platform. You'll need to register there and request a key.

Other than that, we're taking care of some last minute polish items, small bug fixes and such as they crop up. Super Excited to share what we've been working on, thanks so much for all your support.

As always, if you'd like to follow our development more closely you can subscribe to our newsletter and join our discord.

Until next time, Take care!

Shame, way to short for me.

How long was Disco Elysium? Sounds long enough for a dialogue based game. It's designed for multiple playthroughs as well.

I think 8-12 hours is fine for this type of game. Hopefully there's enough C&C to create legit replayability. Plus it's only $20.

Much longer than that. Varies, of course, but 20+ and for some, 30+

I'll probably get it. Price is right, and if I could do with a shorter game. Puts a bit of pressure on the quality of said dialogue, though.

I'm almost definitely going to buy it so I will post some impressions.
