The project reached alpha testing and was published on Yandex Games, but limited development time led to its removal and long-term pause. Player interest later revived the concept and became the foundation for a substantially rebuilt 2.0 version. The original remains a separate long-term project built around ordered potion crafting, karma, a recipe book, characters and branching narrative outcomes.
