That’s because this game officially hit early access on Steam about 3 years ago, and it's been available through the developers since even before that. So you may be asking: if a game has been in open alpha for three years, with no foreseeable completion date, is it worth purchasing? Will I ever have the finished product? Is this purchase literally a survival game in itself? I’m going to say this, dear reader. Relax. Like going into the apocalypse contained within this game, if you know what you’re getting yourself into, you be that much more prepared to get the most out of it. Perhaps that analogy is a bit stretched, but I’ll explain. For those of you worried about The Indie Stone’s progress, they release Mondoids, weekly newsletters in which they detail what updates are currently under development and when they’re about to drop for release. For example, when I played this game with Wyatt on the site’s Twitch stream, he commented that the combat seemed a bit unfinished, and while I'm not particularly bothered by it myself, I was able to say that one of the main things being worked on for the next major update was an overhaul to the animation system, combat included. No one is sure when this update will drop, but it's next on the list. For some, that's a deal breaker, while for others, playing and getting involved in an active community that gets to see the game evolve is part of the charm - @dani_elrd
