Release date
The gate opens November 15-16
Steam prints November 15, 2026. The recorded store unlock is November 16 at 00:26 UTC. Both are correct depending on where you live. Here is the exact picture, without a fake countdown to a date nobody confirmed.

The short answer
Steam store date: November 15, 2026.
Recorded unlock: November 16, 2026 at 00:26 UTC.
Developer wording: "Full release in November 16th."
Price: not confirmed. The developer indicated $10-12 USD on November 8.
The two dates are not a contradiction. Valve store pages often display a release date in US Pacific time, while SteamDB records the store's UTC timestamp. A 00:26 UTC unlock on November 16 is still the evening of November 15 in Los Angeles (4:26 pm) and New York (7:26 pm).
Unlock time by region
| City | Local date | Local time | Zone |
|---|---|---|---|
| UTC | Nov 16 | 00:26 | Reference timestamp |
| Los Angeles | Nov 15 | 16:26 | PST - UTC-8 |
| New York | Nov 15 | 19:26 | EST - UTC-5 |
| Sao Paulo | Nov 15 | 21:26 | BRT - UTC-3 |
| London | Nov 16 | 00:26 | GMT - UTC+0 |
| Berlin | Nov 16 | 01:26 | CET - UTC+1 |
| Tokyo | Nov 16 | 09:26 | JST - UTC+9 |
| Sydney | Nov 16 | 11:26 | AEDT - UTC+11 |
These conversions assume the November 16, 00:26 UTC timestamp holds. Daylight-saving rules are applied for the United States (PST/EST), Europe (GMT/CET) and Australia (AEDT). If Valve unlocks earlier or later, the local times shift with it.
Price: still not confirmed
There is no base price on the Steam listing as of November 15, 2026. The developer wrote in the v0.1.51 post that pricing was still unconfirmed and that he was thinking $10-12 USD. That is an intention, not a store price.
The itch.io page sells the in-development build for a $12 minimum and says all purchases will receive a Steam key on release. The page also warns that the full release price may differ. If you are deciding whether to buy the itch build, treat the Steam key promise as the developer's statement and the final price as unknown.
There is no confirmed price and no confirmed pre-order bonus. The only official storefront is the Steam page. We do not link to key resellers or "cheap key...pages.
Platforms at launch
- Windows PC - Steam, Windows 10 64-bit minimum.
- Mac - a Mac demo build was released on October 19, 2026. The itch page says Mac builds are coming soon; a full Mac launch date is not confirmed.

The system requirements page covers the PC specs, Steam Deck notes, languages and controller support.
