GOG.com: Release: Above Snakes
Man, I was about to write how much I like what I see here: the expanding by tiles, the graphical representation, the whole "vibe"...and then came the zombies (or "lost souls" as the game calls them).

I could've done without.
Looks a lot of fun to me.
Who needs My Time at Sandrock anyway when we have this game instead on gog . =)

becuase they are two very different games? there is almost no similarity between them
Confusing for me as to whether this game is or is not in "early access".

The game page has the phrase "Exclusive Early Access" sandwiched between the two top banners ("JOIN OUR DISCORD" and "PLAY PREVIEW BUILDS".

The "usual" easily-identified "early access" text block is not there.


Is it in early access or not?

Is the game page just an un-updated cut-n-paste from when it WAS early access (happens all too often)?

Or does "early access" just mean I can play old "preview" builds if I wish? (The phrase is just above that banner).

Or is it just missing the "usual" "Early Access" text-block? Or maybe they aren't doing it like that anymore? (There was another recent game similarly labeled "early development" in an easy-to-overlook "regular" font that did not have a prominent text box "warning". TECHNICALLY not early access but instead "early development" (SAME SAME IMO)).

Like - what's the deal here?
So glad its finally here!

Been bugging the devs for this for a while
high rated
On the "Crytivo" Discord. The developer (I guess?) left a nice message for the GOG release. I'll leave you the message here:

With the German language setting, the description on the game card is French, not German... other languages seem to work fine though... -_-
And here I was hoping this game would involve snakes, but it looks like it's a building and crafting game with zombies.
Nice, much better than the other "west" game announced today.

The "Play preview builds" banner is a link to the devs' Patreon. I think the implication, together with the text immediately above it, is that purchasers who are also Patrons get access to new updates (presumably "beta-channel" builds) earlier than regular customers.
I was curious about the name, and someone asked the developers on Youtube and this is their reply:
"Above Snakes is "old west slang" and means "still alive". If you were "Above Snakes," you were above ground - meaning still alive. We found this pretty fitting for a Wild-West inspired survival game. " - SquareGlade
Looks like a really interesting game!
