Now Playable
Exelio is a single-player survival craft game set on a harsh planet, where players gather materials, craft equipment, build bases, and advance a mystery-laden story. The game features full Japanese voice acting and supports subtitles in 10 languages.
The game is built around three core pillars: Crafting, Action, and Story. Even in its Early Access state, the game offers a minimum of 6 hours for speedrunners and approximately 10 hours for a standard playthrough.
Early Purchase Bonus: Players who purchase during the Early Access period will receive exclusive heroine costume skins.
Key Features
Survival and Base-Building in a Semi-Open World
Explore a vast semi-open world — gather resources and expand your base during the day, then fortify your defenses against enemies that attack at night. The day-night cycle creates a strategic gameplay loop.
Two Protagonists Who Switch Between Day and Night
A unique system where the playable character changes between day and night. The story unfolds from each protagonist’s perspective, gradually revealing the mysteries of the world.
Diverse Action Through Crafting and Equipment
A carefully designed action system where equipping different weapons and gear changes the player’s abilities. Strategic boss battles await.
About Early Access
The current Early Access build includes approximately 25% of the planned story. Over the course of roughly one year of Early Access, the team will continue expanding and improving the game based on player feedback:
- New scenarios, fields, and dungeons
- Expanded weapons, gear, items, buildings, and enemies
- Improved action controls and balance adjustments
Development progress is shared regularly via DevLog updates on Steam and X. The price may increase at or before full release.
Message from the CEO
“After over three years of development, we’ve finally reached a stage where players can experience the game. With a vast semi-open world, carefully crafted action, survival crafting, strategic day-night shifts, boss battles, and much more, we believe we’ve prepared a rich and varied experience even at the Early Access stage. From here, we want to grow the game together with our players. Please share your honest feedback.”
