What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access? “Labyrinth is an engaging strategy game that portrays the U.S. efforts to counter extremists’ use of terrorist tactics around the globe. The player is faced with difficult choices that balance military actions with diplomatic and humanitarian ones while on the path to eliminate the use of terror as a political weapon.



Labyrinth is a complex strategic game that will benefit from community involvement from all types of strategy game players. It has unique card-driven, asymmetrical game play that challenges the player to make complex choices that have great affect on the global perspective.



For Playdek, player feedback is immensely important to the games we make such as Labyrinth, and key areas that will benefit are the online multiplayer system as well as the complex A.I. that will improve with player involvement. There are also quite a few complex menus and interface layouts that provide various game choices to the player that can be adjusted to accommodate player feedback.



Combining our passion for making games such as Labyrinth along with your passion as players will lead to making the best experience possible.” Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “Currently we anticipate being in Early Access for about 6-8 months.” How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “During Early Access we will be adding a complete A.I. system to compliment the solitaire bot system that will be available at Early Access for offline play, along with Hot Seat play, in-game player logs, advanced tutorials, designer strategies, sandbox mode for completed games, localizations and full multiplayer mode with leader boards.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? “The current version is fully playable with both offline and online play. Players are able to play against a solitaire AI bot for both the U.S. and Jihadist sides and can play online multiplayer games. A beginner's tutorial is implemented that helps new players with the basics of the game. The game also has a completed card gallery and rule book for reference.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? “The price of the game will increase at full launch, as the additional features become available. Those who purchase the game during Early Access will not be charged extra at full release.” How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “We will provide the best and most efficient channels for players to provide their feedback throughout this process. For testing each update we will continue using our beta branches that are available to Beta players and will gather that feedback as well as general feedback from our Playdek support channel as well as community discussions on Steam.”
