Early Access Policy

Still Alive: Idle is a browser-based survival game developed and operated by Alistair Kerr, trading as The Crooked Corbie. Early Access lets players experience the game while its survival systems, skills, locations and gameplay continue to develop. Balancing, features and presentation may change; bugs, maintenance and interruptions can occur. We will describe the current offering honestly and do not guarantee particular future features or release dates.

Public and Test are different

The Public game at play.stillaliveidle.com contains player progress that we take reasonable care to preserve. We will not treat those saves as disposable testing data. Major updates may require save compatibility or migration work. Early Access is not permission for arbitrary progress deletion or a waiver of consumer rights, and no service can guarantee recovery from every incident.

The Test game at test.stillaliveidle.com is a disposable development environment. Survivor progress, save revisions and retained history may change or be reset through separately controlled testing work. Do not rely on Test progress as permanent. This distinction does not authorise deletion of shared accounts, financial records, ownership entitlements, tester authority or audit evidence.

Save history is limited, not a permanent archive of every revision. Use normal cloud-save functionality and report unexpected loss to support@stillaliveidle.com. A user data-export facility is not promised as currently available.

Access and ownership

Closed Alpha tester admission is separately controlled. A licence does not automatically bypass restricted tester access. Test Paddle checkout uses Sandbox and must not be confused with a real-money Production offering.

A one-time purchase grants a continuing personal licence to Still Alive: Idle. It includes version 1.0, all future updates to the core game and subsequent core-game improvements. There is no recurring subscription charge, and you do not need to repurchase the core game when version 1.0 launches. Separately offered expansions, additional standalone products and future games are not automatically included. We will not reclassify ordinary core-game updates as separate paid expansions to avoid these lifetime commitments. Valid complimentary lifetime ownership has the same core-game access scope.

Playing the hosted game depends on the service being available. Lifetime ownership does not guarantee perpetual server availability, but this does not permit arbitrary withdrawal of purchased content or reduce our contractual obligations or your statutory consumer rights.

Account creation and purchases are intended for people aged 16 or older. This is an eligibility policy, not an official PEGI classification.

Player feedback helps inform development, but submitting a suggestion does not guarantee it will be implemented. Report problems through support@stillaliveidle.com. Avoid sharing credentials or unnecessary personal information in screenshots and reports. Our Privacy Policy explains how reports are handled.

Current purchase status

Production purchases are currently disabled. Test Sandbox checkout is development testing, not a real-money offer. Purchase-related statements describe the intended future offering; real-money purchases are not currently available.
