In Closing

We understand that some of you may have concerns or reservations about Early Access.

To be honest, even from a gamer’s perspective, I personally don’t often purchase Early Access games right away— even when they’re offered at a lower price. So we completely understand and empathize with those feelings.

SnakeEagle is a very small team made up of just one developer and one composer.

Creating a game as a small indie team comes with many disadvantages, but we believe it also has two unique and significant strengths:

  • We can choose to take 'creative risks' in our decision-making when we feel it’s right.

  • We can endure development longer with 'relatively limited financial resources', allowing us to see the project through to completion.

That’s why you don’t have to purchase KILL THE WITCH during Early Access.

However, if this small and strange game resonates with you, we would truly appreciate it if you’d add it to your wishlist. Even leaving a like or a comment whenever it comes to mind gives us tremendous motivation.

We know that the Early Access launch is not the end, but rather the starting line we have only just reached.

We sincerely thank everyone who is looking forward to Yonah’s story and supporting us along the way, and we hope to see you again on release day :)

Have a wonderful day!

Sincerely, SnakeEagle
