Early Access & Refunds
Play early. Risk nothing.
Our Early Access lets you buy a game while it is still being made. You download the current build straight away and get every update until release. If it doesn’t work out, you get your money back.
How it works
Immediate delivery
Pay once and download the latest build right away from your account. There’s no waitlist or waiting for a key.
Updates as they land
Every new build is added to your downloads, free, all the way up to the full release.
A voice in the roadmap
Early Access players get the Discord role, playtest invites and a say in what we build next.
Where to buy
Early Access games are sold here on hilltop-games.com, with secure checkout and instant download. When a game launches on Steam, we plan to send Early Access buyers a Steam key at no extra cost.
Our refund promise
Full 100% refund if an Early Access game is cancelled, or if it is not released within 6 months of the expected release date shown on its page.
To ask for a refund, message us on Discord or reply to your order email with your order number.
What Early Access is not
- It’s not a finished game. Expect bugs, placeholder art and missing features.
- It’s not a subscription. You pay once and keep every update to release.
- It’s not a promise of every feature idea. Stretch goals are built only if there is enough interest.
