How do you feel about hacking to save your life? In EXAPUNKS it's 1997 again and you've made a deal for one hack, one dose to prevent dying from the phage.
As a massive fan of their previous game, Opus Magnum, I'm very interested to see what exactly they will be frying my brain with this time. They also made SHENZHEN I/O, TIS-100, and more! I always find their games have such incredible design to them, EXAPUNKS continues that feeling from the trailer.

What's interesting, is that the game will require you to read zines (a sort of magazine) and they have a set of limited edition printed copies available from the official site.
It's Early Access, although it seems it won't be for long. They're estimating it will only remain there for a few months, so they can act on feedback like they did with previous titles. As it is right now, Zachtronics say EXAPUNKS is functionally complete with a full single-player campaign, a puzzle editor, Steam Workshop support and so on.
It's currently only available on Steam for £15.49/$19.99.

Quoting: EikeQuoting: buenaventuraI wonder if it is worth getting now or if I should wait for it to finish early access?
I think they're using early access as a kind of beta phase. It seems it's working quite well already, so I'd expect a release soon. Whatever that means for your decision.
OK, well that sounds good! I will get it eventually anyhow. I think now I am full up for the moment.
Quoting: EikeThe only sane decision is to wait until a game is finished before you pay for it. I do realise Zachtronics is a safe bet, but paying for an unfinished product seems a bit counterproductive.Quoting: buenaventuraI wonder if it is worth getting now or if I should wait for it to finish early access?

I'm not bold kind of person, but this bet would be safe enough for me. :)
