Graywalkers: Purgatory – Early Access Release Date Announced

The Dreamlords Digital team seems to have spent the last few years on the verge of launching their supernatural turn-based RPG Graywalkers: Purgatory into early access, but now it looks like that fabled release is about to actually happen. According to this recent Kickstarter update, the game will be going live on January 15, 2020, while its backers should have access to a playable build already.

And if you want some additional details, you can find the update below:

EARLY ACCESS RELEASE DATE

Greetings Graywalkers! We are finally releasing the Steam Early Access for Graywalkers Purgatory on January 15, 2020. The game has been approved for release and we can launch now anytime. We were supposed to launch on the 10th but we felt we needed a little bit more time to prepare a few more things needed. For Kickstarter backers though who’s reward includes a pre-order of the game, we will be sending you your Steam Beta Keys by the weekend via your email (between 10th-11th). We will be sending the keys to Pre-order backers and PayPal backers as well. Take note these are Beta Keys and not yet the final game keys. The final game keys will be released on the 15th.

GAME IS LIVE

Technically, the game is live. Once you get your beta game keys, the game will appear on your Steam profiles. We dated the release on the 3rd but we only got the approval yesterday. The game is not yet available for sale and that will be on the 15th. Only devs are the ones who have the game active on their accounts. For all intents and purposes though, the game is now live.

CONSTANT UPDATE

In the next few weeks, we will be constantly updating the build on Steam (every other day or so). As you know, the game is in Early Access so it is still a work in progress. Our main goal is to get as much feedback as we can so we can improve the game. We expect there to be issues that you and the other players will find and we intend to fix those as fast as we possibly can. Major content will still come in every monthly update and is separate from daily fixes and add-ons.

MAC & LINUX RELEASE

For our release on Mac and Linux, those will come sometime in February. The biggest problem is we haven’t thoroughly tested them so we do not want to release them yet. The plan is to work out as much as the starter issues with the Steam release worked out so that by the time we release for Mac and Linux, it will be more stable.

NON-DRM RELEASE

As for our Non-DRM releases, we are hoping for this to happen very soon too. We are looking for a platform where we can properly release the game to those of you who have requested for Non-DRM. Most probably this will happen in February too as we begin to address these other requirements more properly now that the EA game will be releasing. We have some potential platforms for these already but nothing is set in stone yet. We will hopefully be able to release DRM free via GoG and Humble if things work out.

SUPPORT

We would like to request everybody to please support us by spreading the word about the game to your friends and family. For those who are contented with the game, maybe you can even gift it to your family or friends who like playing video games. We would also like to request everybody to make their reviews for the game on Steam when they can. We ask you to be honest, fair and kind. We welcome constructive criticisms of course and these feedback will be beneficial to us. Do take note that this is still Early Access so look at the potential the game brings and imagine how good it can become with the proper resources.

FEEDBACK

As we’ve requested before, we ask for as much feedback from you regarding the game. The feedback can be sent to feedback[at]dreamlordsdigital.com. It’s best if you provide us with as much detailed feedback and suggestions. Feel free to talk about anything. What did you like or what did you not like? Is there anything you hate or something you love? Any information provided will only make the game even better.

MOVING FORWARD

Moving forward, our next update will be in a few weeks after the release. In that update, we will share with you whatever changes and improvements we will be doing, as well as what content to expect in the next major update in February.

THANK YOU!

Lastly, we want to thank all of you, our backers. You helped us make this possible. I know it took us a long while and the journey is still not over, but we hope that what we have so far will excite you and make you look forward in the things to come with regards to the game. Again, thank you to each and everyone one you. I’ll see you soon Graywalkers!
