The Anacrusis is coming to Early Access on PC and Game Preview on Xbox. That means that you can get in with the game earlier than most and watch it evolve over time, but it also means you should expect some growing pains. Perhaps the most prominent missing feature right now is the ability to easily select your character from the game's foursome of heroes. However, just because it's tricky doesn't mean it's impossible. Here's how to change your character in The Anacrusis.

There are four characters in The Anacrusis at the moment. While they're not class-based, each of them has their own distinct personality, plus their own cosmetics to unlock, so you'll undoubtedly pick your favorite survivor in time. But selecting any specific character is a bit clunky at the moment. The four heroes, Guion, Nessa, Liu, and Lance, are assigned in that order to players who join the lobby.

That means, for now anyway, the party leader will always play as Guion, and subsequent players jumping into a lobby second, third, and fourth will load into their roles as Nessa, Liu, and Lance respectively. This is very likely a temporary arrangement, and when Stray Bombay updates the game to allow for exact character selection, we'll update this guide too.
