Developer POLYMORPH and publisher Smilegate announced today that upcoming survival RPG IfSunSets will release in Early Access tomorrow, November 5. Currently, the team plans to stay and operate in Early Access for one year, which will allow them to follow their internal roadmap and build out features for the game.

You can build traps, weapons, and obstacles to prevent enemies from entering, with a wide variety of construction options available. Each night, a swarm of monsters will appear, pursuing you regardless of where you hide. It’s up to you to battle your way out and survive til day.
The team behind the game, POLYMORPH, is comprised of eight developers. In a press release, POLYMORPH CEO Byunghun Cho said the following on this announcement: “Our small team of eight is dedicated to building a polished game that provides something truly new within the survival genre.

To escape, you must unravel the hidden secrets of its ancient past. But be careful — nightfall here conceals shadows and horrors beyond imagination…
