Under Canopies Early Access Starts October 23 On PC
Four years of development lands on a date, and Novemtails is asking players to judge a build it says has moved past its own demo.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Novemtails will open early access for Under Canopies on October 23 for PC via Steam. The relaxed nature survival sim has no combat or danger. Novemtails said it improved progression and the tutorial, expanded building, added farming elements, and changed animal behavior. Building trust with animals is gradual, through food and care. The demo was removed because the current version no longer reflects it.
Novemtails set October 23 for the early access launch on PC through Steam. The game is a survival sim set in a forest, built around living alongside nature rather than fighting it, with no combat or danger. In June the studio had said early access was planned for around summer.
Alongside the date, Novemtails described a broad rework: game progression and the tutorial, an expanded building system, farming elements, and changed animal behavior. New resources, more crafting and cooking items, and more reasons to explore the forest were added. Trust with animals builds gradually through feeding and care, and the studio also listed inventory, controller support, building controls, quests, settings, and bug fixes. The previous demo has been removed because the current version has changed significantly.
