Incognita Alpha Launch And Pre-Orders
Hello!
We're excited to announce that Incognita has entered Alpha! Alpha means that we have most of the core tactical espionage mechanics in the game, but we are still in the early stages of development and many major features are still being implemented and aren't in the Alpha build yet.
Alpha means the game is still in a very early state, and we do not have many of our major features implemented! What the game will look like in this state is a single (randomly generated) level, with a few agents and little to no progression. The current Alpha build has most of our core tactical and strategic systems, as well as our engine, UI, procedural generation and so on, but is missing some major progression systems and missing most of our content, which will be developed as we get further along in the process. We do have a timeline for some of these features, so we'll share that with you when we can.
Because the game is still in the early stages, we're expecting the game to change significantly as we test and iterate on major features. We're also expecting major bugs to pop up during the development, as much as we try to avoid them.
We have also opened up Incognita for pre-orders. Pre-ordering the game gives you access to the current alpha build, every public build through alpha and beta, and a copy of the final released game.
Please share your thoughts and feedback with us on the forums, and we'll keep you updated on the development of the game as it progresses.
Thanks!
James L.

That looks just beautiful. The Alpha does sound pretty limited though.
Yeah I was leaning on skipping the alpha due to the content and price, but then I noticed they're also giving out a spare key of the game just like they did with Don't Starve. I'll just hold onto that key and just sell it once the game gets near launch.That looks just beautiful. The Alpha does sound pretty limited though.
Is this game supposed to have multiplayer? Because the mechanics and engine on display seem like a perfect fit for the asymmetrical guard-infiltrator multiplayer game I've had stewing in my head for a couple years now
It should also be available via the Steam store later today for anyone who doesn't want to go through the Humble store.Nice, looks great.
edit: any idea if this will include a steam key later?
edit2: nevermind, it does.

It should be the same price. The only difference between the versions will probably be that the Humble version includes a DRM free copy of the game in addition to the Steam key while the Steam version might include some Steam perks like TF2 items.Do you know if it will be the same price there?
Impressions, impressions, impressions, impressssssssionnnsssssss. Someone tell me its bad please so I dont need to spend 20$ on it :/
Alright, I played a couple of rounds. Haven't gotten very far yet. This is pretty early alpha, if you guys want to hold of a bit until there's more content, it wouldn't be the worst idea.
What I have played seems really promising. Randomized levels + action points makes it feel more like old X-Com with a new Xcom interface.
But really not much to it right now. They dump you into a level with two agents, and that's it. Really looking forward to watching it get iterated on, though. Will play a bit more tomorrow to give it a better run.
Hopefully, Klei releases this on Steam soon. I'd love to buy this from Humble Store, but all the money I currently have is on my Steam account.
According to Klei's twitter it will not be up on the Steam Store until it hits beta but the website gives you Steam keys.
Described as turn-based tactical espionage, Incognita is a slick polished experience even at this early stage. Rather than protecting the world from an alien invasion or taking out terrorists, your objective is to steal secrets; fans of cyberpunk and sci fi noir will be right at home in this world of high-tech corporate espionage. Your team of agents must infiltrate each procedurally-generated level, gather information, and escape.

Grief is looking for someone to split the cost in the Steam thread.God, I really want this. But the exchange rate would fuck me in the ass if I got this from their store so I guess I'll wait until it shows up on Steam.
