Angels Fall First will be available to buy on Steam Early Access from October 1st.

It's been a long time coming, but we are proud to finally present the game with hundreds of improvements, loads of new content, and many new maps.

We are releasing as Early Access because whilst this is a full working game with lots to see and do, it still has rough edges. We'd feel bad asking for the price of a final release, but we feel that it represents great value in its current state as an Early Access title at a lower price.

It's time to let AFF out into the wild and get people involved!
