Overview
- Panache Digital Games announced the PC Early Access launch for Steam and the Epic Games Store on August 25, with the entry priced around $29.99–$30.
- The studio says the Early Access build delivers the first piece of the campaign, which it estimates will take about 15 hours to complete, though some previews reported a shorter playtime of roughly 10 hours.
- Panache expects Early Access to run about a year and will add multiple major updates that expand the map, add more story and additional boss‑type enemies called The Originals, and prepare for later console releases.
- Hands‑on coverage praised the dense, historically detailed Amsterdam and the cat‑based traversal but flagged technical issues including bugs, performance problems, and uneven voice acting that could affect the paid launch experience.
- The project is led by Patrice Désilets and carries a long development history and recent scrutiny over generative AI after the prologue used AI for some portraits; the studio confirmed the Early Access and full release will not include AI‑generated assets.
