It Has My Face Early Access Date
The Early Access for "It Has My Face" dropped on Steam on September 23, 2025, and that’s still sinking in feels almost too fitting for a horror roguelite built around surprise and suspense. Opening my Steam client and seeing a game invite me to find and destroy my own clone? Gave me flashbacks to late-night Among Us sessions, except way more tense. There’s something electric about diving into a world on Day One, bugs and quirks and all, especially when the devs promise to keep shaping things along with the player community. It’s one of those “blink and you’ll miss it” indie launches, and I’m glad I got there a few hours after the button went live (and dodged spoilers, mostly).
The Vibe: Hunting Yourself in a Fever Dream
First thing you do? Hunt your clone in a crowdsourced dystopian city before it hunts you. Sounds simple, right? Nope. I spent my first run being absolutely paranoid, side-eyeing every single pixelated face that looked a little too much like mine (which started feeling kind of existential after a while). The whole roguelite structure means every attempt feels slightly different, and the mix of “cat-and-mouse with yourself” is freaky in the best way.
It’s not just the clone mechanics, though. Procedurally-generated maps, randomized AI, limited ammo, and weapons you end up using in odd ways (seriously, I once tried to corner my clone with a trash can; it worked, sort of). The devs are a sibling duo NightByte Games and you can feel their love for weird tension and awkward, close-quarters chaos throughout the glitches and jump scares. Honestly, I haven’t been this hyped about unpredictable horror since the first "Dead by Daylight" lobbies went wild.
Is Early Access Really Ready?
I’ll be honest: Early Access usually means rough edges, and "It Has My Face" has plenty. But the day-one experience is surprisingly playable, with just the right amount of jank to make you smile and groan. Yanking open a map only to get trapped by an NPC and then realizing, "Wait, that NPC is me...but evil?!" top-tier moment.
Languages? Plenty: English, Turkish, French, Spanish, Chinese the devs aren’t skimping on making it accessible. There’s an endless mode, plans for PvP, and a campaign that’s being fleshed out over time. If you’re here for perfectly polished content, maybe wait. But if you like being part of something weird and evolving, grab it early it’s probably worth skipping a few takeout dinners for.
Why This Game Feels Special
Let’s face it, most horror games make you run from zombies or ghosts. This one makes you chase yourself, second-guess everything, and occasionally laugh when you do something really dumb. It’s early days yet, but I honestly think "It Has My Face" could become that cult indie hit people recommend to their friends with “You just have to play it once, trust me.”
