Hey guys i'm pretty much new to these visual novel games and literally just started playing them a couple of days ago, didn't even know about this site until a few days ago.

I'm trying to understand something.... It looks like you can just straight up download all of these interesting indie games from here without buying them (which surprised me tbh), and yet I see this game is on Steam for $8.99 not to mention the developer's patreon page with the same price is on here too.

So my question is this:

I'm not trying to be cheap, but what is the point of buying the game if i can just download and play it from the file provided here? is the current state of the free download missing any content as of right now? does the purchase have more content, more scenes, etc? am I downloading a demo or is this like a pirated version of the game?

if someone could explain that would be awesome

Just a way to support developers also depending on your morale compass as this is a pirate site. For me personally if I see a game that is "completed" but on Steam I won't download it but i'll wait till I buy it on Steam. Same goes for a game I love I won't play updates until I buy it from steam tho there are some exceptions.

But the games here are leaked from their pateron or SubscribeStar so it has the full content unless a game happens to not get leaked for some time but what is a little rare but it happens so there is a chance a game can be an update or 2 behind what is available on pateron.

Dessolos explained it well. I would add that oftentimes Devs use this site to promote interest in their work by uploading it themselves. Get viewers hooked and some may gravitate to support them on Patreon or SS. I have supported a few Devs as a result. Note that some Devs employ extra security measures that need a “crack” to get extra content and/or scenes. It is bonus content for their patrons as they know the base game will be pirated at some point. I find cracks, sometimes, difficult to use. That is probably just me and Opinions will vary. Happy pirating!

Anyone know what the patreon post says? I imagine it's another delay of some sort but I can''t read the post because I don't have a patreon account

His "one week" away from finishing the release has turned into 2 months. He is no where close to releasing the update and is just stringing along his subs. He is even doing his "here's a teaser because you guys deserve it". He did the same thing in the past as well.
He has delayed EVERY update by months, i don't know people take his word every time.

Sometimes a full year. I don't even anticipate it anymore. When it comes out it comes out.
tbh I didn't even play the last update yet cause I heard animation gonna get added in later. But kind of my mind set I bought it on steam cause was a 1 time purchase no seasons as far as im aware. But beyond that I kind of just look at this thread once in awhile but don't really care when updates happen got alot of other games.

I wish the Typist was more open with supporters like me on steam. Last bit of info was back in September.
Agreed. A lot of devs don't post status updates on steam. I don't even care if I get the patreon supporter pictures on there. I just want some information. You can see on the discussion boards of games without status updates constantly calling them a scam and way too short, not knowing there will be more updates eventually ("hopefully" in some cases too :LOL:)
