Early access opened on 22 Sep 2025. Six named updates followed: 0.17 (The Carver), 0.18 (Santa), 0.19 (Bushy), 0.20 (Weekly Madness), 0.21 (Penny and the toucan code), and 0.22 (local co-op and the Surfer). The 1.0 notes call that stretch one year of early access.
The 1.0 post adds Vampire, a fifth final boss named Laz, a coffee stall, 10 new weapons, 16 new items, and more than 30 achievements. It also says existing saves load in 1.0. The full timeline is on the 1.0 page.
Price on 2 Nov 2026
Steam showed $14.99 reduced to $9.74 (−35%), described by SteamDB as an introductory offer through 12 Nov 2026. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series both showed $19.99. I am not converting SteamDB's lowest foreign-currency row into a dollar 'all-time low'.
