These slow-burn games do not have a good track record of surviving Act II. Some make it further than others, but I haven't experienced many that make it to Act III; and honestly I can't think of a single one off the top of my head (but I assume there are a couple). This game has been in trouble for a long time. This is what I wrote just over a year ago as part of my review:
I'm not claiming that Palmer is a scammer or anything like that, being a dev is difficult and real life is more important. That's totally fine. At the same time though, we've seen enough of these slow-burn games to know the red flags. Maybe this game continues, maybe we get another update or two, but at this point I don't think there's any reasonable chance to think that we get a complete game.The summer of 2024 will be the 2nd anniversary of this game's launch. I think it will be a critical summer for the game. If we can't get over the hump and start ramping up the action in Act 2, then I don't think this game will ever deliver on its promise. Two years of waiting is more than fair.
