Where can I play Paradigm Shift?
“Currently theres a working demo on both steam and itch.io! Feedback is super apperciated!”
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“As soon as the full game is complete, we will no longer be in early access. Considering it's planned to be a full RPG adventure and there are only three developers, we are unsure of the full release date. Development time can be strained since we're a group of college students; school comes first but the game will always be in active development and updates will be frequent.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“In comparison to the full game, Early Access will not have the last two chapters of the complete game included.”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“So far Chapter 1 is the only chapter completed. To see the changelog and current features refer to the "About This Game" section on the store page, it is always updated accurately.”
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“Yes. The complete game will have an actual price tag, once the game is out of Early Access.”
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
“We plan on communicating updates and plans through both the Steam/itch.io page as well as our Twitter page. We want early access to be a stepping stone for the community to help us make the final game better, we plan to be very active in feedback in the future.”

The world of Paradigm Shift uses 3d retro-styled graphics to convey its world. We went with 3d as its helps show the scope of the world and allows us to use dynamic angles and compelling lighting effects.
Thanks to the demon invasion your city has created some very unusual and unique enviroments for the player to explore. From a futuristic neon landscape to a haunted mansion.
Paradigm Shift uses a unique battle system based off the Press-Turn battle system popular in the hit RPG series Shin Megami Tensei created by Atlus.
A quick rundown of the system. Each star represents an action turn that both sides can use. The game rewards players by using smart tatics like aiming for an enemy weakness or affecting a target with a status effect to inflict extra damage. Doing this will grant the user one extra turn per different exploit that is used. This system can be handy for getting through a battle pretty quickly.
