animated scenes??
no
is there any way/s to play this in anroid?
no
Is there any content with the cat lady? The one with the ponytail, whiskers and glasses, don't remember the name. Rightmost one in the banner on the 1st page. If not, is any planned?
Not yet, but it's planned. I made such a build-up for her for a reason=) (You could say that half of chapter 6-7 of the 1st season was devoted to her). She's already shown a bit of herself and her personality. And I can't just throw away such a colorful character.

Can't see the steam version. Did they deleted it?
Germany? If so, 18+ games don't show up on Steam anymore. Gabe doesn't want to implement a normal age check.
I'll put the version on Itch tomorrow, and later (maybe) on other stores.

No, I still have all the porn games, but yours won't show for some reason.
update: it doesn't show when I check from browser, but I found it through steam client.

It may happen with 18+ games in a browser if you're not logged in.

I think once the combat system is finished and implemented across the game and animation are added, this game can be completed and sell well for $20-30

Will we be seeing a Season 3 of Arcana?

EDIT: I've just noticed the abandoned tag and seen that HardDeer froze their Patreon last October. Sad days, but maybe someday they'll return

Patreon has been dead for a long time. Actually it was never alive for me.
That's why I don't focus on it. And it's frozen not to withdraw money from those who are still hanging there.
Well, and to give Steam keys to those who still remain when I unfreeze it.

But the Arcana itself is still very much alive.
I'm currently working on season 3 and the prequel.

I am really glad to hear this. After trying the demo of the first season, I couldn't fathom why you have so much less support than clearly inferior games. You provide engaging dialog and characters, actual, old-school adventure gameplay, and drawings that are on par with the writing (when it is so rare that even one of those things are anywhere near your level). Really, I am impressed by your work, and I hope the sales are spectacular.

Glad to hear you like my game.
As for the support on Patreon. One can speculate at length why this happened - I have some thoughts, but I also think that there are some things I just don't know yet. But this situation doesn't really upset me - I didn't have any high hopes for it.
+ I haven't done any analysis of the needs and desires of the audience that usually supports people on Patreon, simply because I really don't have time for that. But the good(?) news is that Steam, at least partially, helps to make ends meet.
One way or another, I'll bring Arcana to an end. So, I don't think you need to worry about it dying=)

The steam links in your signature doesn't work, is it normal ?

I can only speak for myself, but one of the reasons I haven't tried the game yet is because I'm having a hard time figuring out what you actually do in the game. The art is admittedly nice, but the screenshots don't really tie into the game's overview. There's mentions of arcane fever, unique personalities/fetishes, magic runes, and psychology, but I don't recognize anything in the preview image that can be matched to any of those things. There's a lot of sex, but nothing I'd describe as fetishy. I can also see screenshots of combat, but it doesn't look very engaging. I'm worried that the story will be very barebones and the reviews are too out of date to answer that question. I'd also add that the tags don't help set my expectations. Like "spanking" could be anything between playful taps to borderline torture. And the other reason is the paywall, but I'd imagine that's not something you'd budge on. Best of luck.
