So, we just released Episode One into the wild! Or, more accurately, into the guarded yard of Early Access where we can watch over it like a neurotic helicopter-parents. But hey, it's out there. You can play it. You SHOULD play it. There's a 10% launch discount.
Buy it here! Store.steampowered.com
But wait -- what are you buying?
1) Most obviously, you're buying 10 playable levels. That's just a taste of Ectolibrium. Roughly an hour of gameplay in a straight-shot playthrough, with significantly more playtime if you choose to revisit and master the content. (There's a score system, and leaderboard integration, so hopefully we can all have fun competing during that mastery process!)
2) You're buying the REST of Ectolibrium, which isn't yet finished. That's the norm with Early Access of course -- but with Ectolibrium, we're taking an episodic approach, which we hope gives players a clear sense of what to expect, and when. By picking up Episode One, you're also gaining access to Episodes 2 and 3, and a fair amount of auxiliary content we intend to inject into the game over time.
Check out our roadmap for a sense of where we're headed!
3) You're buying a VOICE in Ectolibrium's development. User feedback throughout development is one of our main reasons for choosing Early Access. Please, take advantage of this. We hope you play the game and love it. We also hope you find things to complain about, and get inspired with whacky new ideas we never thought of. Let us know on the Steam Community hub, our DIscord server, or by email to nate@ectolibrium.com -- we will listen to your suggestions and very likely get back to you!
Thanks, and have fun with Episode One,
- Nate
