Early Access

The  for was from October 30, 2018 to July 29, 2019.

Description
held the Early Access period for on PC through Steam through the end of 2018 and the first half of 2019 before officially releasing the game. The events of Early Access were not restricted under an NDA/embargo like the Closed Beta. The community began to flourish during Early Access as more players began finding the game, joining the TBC Discord server, and discussing the weird events going on in the game.

Enhanced Horror
Enhanced Horror began focusing on the story of THEE-I-DARE and SPEAK-AS-ONE. The Vocal voices, IN-HER-TEETH, DANCE-FOR-US, and LAUGH-LAST remained quiet through the early weeks of EA but eventually returned to speak with players in missions.

Story Developments

 * DIE-FOR-YOU, THE-MEASURE-CUTS, and SEED-THE-GRUDGE were formally introduced in the latter half of Early Access.
 * Unknown Hunter Voice also became more vocal and active despite not revealing his name.
 * The search for Bells continued with no major findings or leads.

Stalker
The Stalker mode was reintroduced after a hiatus for a few months (first introduced during the first Closed Beta weekend). The mode removed Stalkers' abilities to Wardrobe/Gestures to players and made travel between Red Doors less instantaneous; Stalkers now had a 30 second cooldown between Red Door travel and had to hold the interact button for several seconds to enter the door.
