What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“With more than 1,800 Kickstarter backers already playtesting Macabre, we have seen how important community feedback is for a game built on unpredictable enemy behaviours, procedural maps, and randomised objectives.

Early Access allows us to involve a wider group of players. More players means more data, better feedback, and stronger systems. The more people we have in the Rift, the sharper and scarier the experience can become.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect to remain in Early Access for up to two years. This gives us room to expand content and refine systems while continuing to improve the foundation with real player input. The timeline may change depending on progress and feedback, but our focus will remain on delivering a strong, replayable experience throughout.”

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

“We plan for Macabre to grow during Early Access. Development will be guided by player feedback and our creative goals. Areas we are looking to expand include:

  • Crafting systems for tools and equipment
  • Dismemberment for more visceral monster encounters
  • Roaming animals to add tension and unpredictability
  • Non-verbal communication such as hand signals and emotes
  • New procedural maps in varied atmospheric locations
  • Additional monster forms with unique behaviours and abilities
  • More responsive AI and dynamic world systems
  • Expanded objectives and guidance from Banjo
  • Richer lore and narrative discoveries
  • Additional language support based on demand

These are our current plans, which may change as development continues and community input shapes priorities.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access build already includes a playable map with procedural layouts, randomised objectives, and adaptive monster behaviours that react to team size. Core systems such as stealth, progression, objectives, proximity chat, and online co-op are in place and actively refined.

Thousands of hours of playtesting from Kickstarter backers have helped us reach this point. Early Access players can expect a complete experience that is being polished and expanded as feedback comes in.”

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

“We plan to gradually increase the price as Macabre expands with additional content and features. Players who join during Early Access will keep access to the game at no extra cost when the price changes.”

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

“Community involvement has been central since day one. Player feedback has already shaped monster behaviours, map design, and system refinements. We plan to continue this approach through Discord, playtests, surveys, and open discussions.

As a small indie team, we believe transparency builds trust. That is why we share progress openly and respond directly to players. Whether you want to test, observe, or simply follow the journey, your input will always be valued.”
