The day when the EA version transitions to the full release is approaching.
Here we address some of the most recent and frequently asked questions.
Q: Can we continue to play the EA version?
A: Unfortunately, due to significant changes in the full version, including a complete reset of the prologue and the main character, and the addition of numerous new gameplay, you will need to start a new game after the full version update.
Q: Do I need to purchase the full version if I already bought the Early Access version?
A: Players who have purchased the Early Access version will receive a free upgrade to the full version upon its release.
Q: Will there be more new content updates in the future?
A: While creating the full version, we already had some new ideas. However, after the full release, we will prioritize optimizing the game. The new content that everyone is looking forward to will come after that. Please stay tuned for the latest official news.
Q: Will the game support PC game controllers/Steamdeck?
A: In the full version, we will enable customizable button functions for controllers, allowing you to adjust to your preferred settings. The Steamdeck adaptation is almost complete, and Steam is currently reviewing it. After stabilizing the full version, we will continue to optimize the Steamdeck adaptation.
Q: What should I do if I encounter a black screen or long loading times when opening the game?
A: If the game is installed on a HDD, it may take longer to load resources the first time you open the game due to the drive's read speed. Please be patient. We also recommend using a SSD to run the game. Using an integrated graphics card might cause similar issues. We will continue to monitor this issue after launch. Thank you for your understanding.
Q: Is it more cost-effective to buy the game now?
A: The game is currently available at an all-time low discount. Purchasing now will also grant you the Launch Exclusive Content and the Soundtrack.
Q: Will the game support console versions, or is it only playable on Steam?
A: The game is currently only available on Steam, but we are preparing for console platform ports. We will share any new developments with everyone.
Q: Can we still play the Demo after the full release?
A: We know that the Demo is the most direct and fastest way to understand the gameplay. Therefore, the current free Demo will remain available after the game's release.
Q: I purchased a key and activated it after the full release, can I still get the EA Exclusive Rewards?
A: No. If you have already purchased a key, make sure you activate it and deposit the game in your library before the official release.
If you have any other unresolved queries, feel free to leave a message in the community.
First, we want to express our gratitude for your feedback during the early access period. Many of you participated in multiple rounds of new gameplay testing, helping to identify issues and bugs. You have all witnessed Kaku's growth.
To honor our Early Access players, we have prepared gifts including the game's Concept Art Book, Old Kaku Gold Statue, and Gear for every player who activated the game during Early Access.
Breaking news: The game is now available at its lowest price, and purchasing now will also include EA Exclusive Rewards!
