Can you define "finished"?
In general that's not how art, literature or the gaming industry works ...
The creator decides if his artwork is finished or not ... Steam cannot test and play all the games they sell. The customers have to decide if they want to buy the artwork in current state or not, based on price, reviews, etc
Games on Steam can be Early Access, can be parts of a series, can be a base game + DLCs ...
If you don't like the game and played less than 2 hours, you can refund the game on Steam.

I hate it when a promising game dies, just as it's getting good lol! Maybe the dev's Russian and got sent to the front?!

Its called "Early Access".
But the main thing is don't be fooled the dev did not upload it to steam, someone else did to make a quick dollar off of a suppose abandoned game.
The dev said he will work on it again but not for a long time to come.
If the dev is russian, then it is more likely that sanctions killed the funding of the game and the patreon account.

A resumed game is rarely ever as good as it was before, and most have lost interest including the dev.
