Chapter One?

[Cellsiuss]

What does that actually mean? The next one will be sold as a separate game, DLC or will this game be developed to the "full" version? Because from what I understand we have half the game here.

[Sundowning.]

How long is the game going to be?

CULTIC: Chapter One contains 10 maps and Survival Mode. Players can expect between 3 and 5 hours of playtime for this first episode, depending on their pace and thoroughness, not counting additional playthroughs on other difficulties or time spent in Survival Mode.

--------

What is included in Chapter One and what is to be expected from Chapter Two?

Chapter One begins the player’s story, and takes them through cult-controlled territory across 10 maps, including some boss fights. Chapter One also includes Survival Mode and a few maps for it.
Chapter Two is expected to be at least as long as Chapter One, and will continue the story.

--------

Are you planning any further content releases after Chapter Two?

Chapter Two will wrap up the story that begins in Chapter One. Additional story content has not been confirmed at this time.

--------

How much are the next chapters going to cost and what will be the game’s full price?

Chapter Two is expected to contain roughly the same amount of content as Chapter One, so the cost would likely be in the same range. A decision on this will be made closer to Chapter Two’s release.

All of this is available on the FAQ pinned at the top of this discussion forum.

It didn't really answer his main question, if what you posted is their FAQ it doesn't answer the question if this is just a standalone chapter 1 and chapter 2 will be another thing or dlc or if this is just early access of the whole game and we get it cheaper now for being early adopters and chapter 2 for free when it gets released late on.

i'd guess it's this vague because dev/publisher aren't sure themselves how to better handle this

In another thread Jason said "likely DLC" and that he expects it to be done in about a year.

Shouldn't this be early access if it's only the first episode?

Nah first episode is a complete. Dusk did a similar method releasing chapters staggered.

[Honnoror]

He just explained that chapter 1 is a complete game and that the chapter will be the continuation of this game and that it will be sold at the same price as this one.

[Honnoror]

I was interested in the game but finally I will pass my turn.

Except Dusk dev switched to early access after it caused some confusion with Valve.

[Marrs]

So, one chapter is a complete book?

Dusk devs wanted to go the 3D Realms route and basically release a paid demo with a pre-order, but eventually did the right thing by going EA and doing EA right, unlike 3DR. Actually surprised they decided to do the sensible thing with CULTIC and clearly communicate that it's a complete package, just the first episode. At least if the 2nd episode gets canned the 1st is still there.
