[h3]Why an Early Access?[/h3]

We are a 4 people studio and Early Access is the best way for us to improve the game with your feedback in mind. We are bringing a solid core-gameplay loop first and we’ll be adding more content, immersion and mechanics later on.

The full version will feature extra content, going from 1930 to 1939 – whereas it goes only from 1930 to 1932 in Early Access.
