woah there, you are being too optimistic, i wouldn't want you to get disappointed.
He had already been making this game for 7 years, and there is barely anything in it sill. Most animations are still missing or unfinished too and he only started chapter 2 recently (after 7 years lol). I get that he is doing it solo, but i have seen bigger solo projects progress faster than this. So i believe that you are being overly optimistic with your 20 years estimate.

Welp since it`s a free game developed by a person with a job in current economy its pretty normal.
Whats with nowadays skibidi youth and constant complaining? Like if game X don`t receive 120 people team size updates from solo dev, game = bad.
And before substar get brought up, most of its from art commisions(not game) and when you tried to rent apartment last time? Like i understand if it`s was paywall game, but it`s not
true, it's a solo game, and at the end of the day, the developer has a life outside of it. People forget that these projects often start as a passion or hobby. The dev’s main job or responsibilities come first, and the game is something they do in their spare time, often because they enjoy it, not because they owe anyone a full-time commitment.

You can always make opposite example, some devs make crazy money monthly and instead of developing game they feed community with single image per month and fancy reasons. Truth is in the middle as usual. We all humans, but if you take money from others you should be responsible. It's not only about money, people attention is important as well, can't say only paying customers matters. Game stalling is a good enough reason to be annoyed, players have their reasons as well. If no one cares means no one is playing the game.

If you are an amateur developer, making a visual novel, and you have a job, then make a game and don't listen to anyone.
- in this case, a simple user has no right to demand anything from a developer, period.
If you put up your game and say, "Help me, here are my hundred and one collection services," then you are already taking responsibility and the agreement with the platforms has a clause about this.
- here you need to approach people who decided to help you more responsibly. I also consider it inappropriate for a person who didn't help even with a one-time payment to have no right to complain.
All these excuses are no longer valid because in the indie gaming segment there are already a lot of examples of how a person alone makes a game in the same amount of time, during which 90% of games never come out.
In 6 years, a person made a 3D shooter for 5-8 hours of vigorous action and did not ask for money, but posted the game on Steam.
I have not touched this game for 1.5 years, and I see that the game has 100500 fixes and only 10 add-ons. And in fact, the shift in the plot is minimal.
And let's take off the rose-colored glasses of a porn game, this is a segment of easy money-making if you have a good idea and a successful concept. Many developers have been using this for a long time and are deliberately dragging out time.
!!!!!This is my personal opinion and does not claim to be the truth. I have no complaints against the developer of this game.!!!!

Anyone else have an issue where the game refuses to load past the unity splash screen? All I'm getting is the game emblem and the x to close the window. I'm using the Windows build.
Have you unpacked the .zip somewhere? Trying to play the game by running it from inside the .zip will prevent things from working right.
If that's not the problem, then it might have just been an error when extracting the files wherever you did so. Only fix for that is to try extracting the game again.
I extracted straight to my desktop using 7zip and the built in unpacker from Windows, with no luck. The game launches, then turns to this image.
If you have a GPU, is the driver up to date? Also worth checking to make sure any antivirus programs you have didn't remove any files. Also if you used the links in the OP instead of downloading from the dev's website, should double check that it's the Windows version and not accidentally Linux. If you're still using the original .zip you downloaded as well, might be worth downloading it again in case of a corrupted download.
Also, have you tried any previous versions? If so, did they work? If previous versions don't work too, then it might be something else that I can't think of.
I am not a native English speaker, but I still want to express my thoughts:
I have been following this game for about 6 years...
I am a creator who has been involved in video game programming since 2003, and I have made 11 "point & shoot" games so far...Isn't it ridiculous...Yes, my ability is limited, and my life and social circle are not prosperous, and it has been even more difficult in recent years.
For this work, I found that the author of the work was mainly trapped in the huge obstacles of the system. Because of the "possession", "pregnancy" and "command" in the game, the mating animation needs to produce about 90 sets of animations, yes...90! 90! ! ! !
According to the formula, if any two people in the play mate (excluding body swapping), including succubus control and pregnant women, it is enough to produce more than 90 animations...(10 characters that can be selected now, not counting dreams, hosts, goats, horses, and other characters that are not yet included in the game.)
Not counting the plot in the dream, the newly added withering fire, blue lightning, goats, horses, bats...OH, NO! I feel scared when I think about the workload of the author... I don't know if a few "agents" and "passersby" are disposable products...
If this game will not be "unfinished", the best way at the moment is to reduce the mating animation as much as possible and try every means to strictly control the number of animations...
like me，I don't give up hand-painted pixel production for my own works, but "human flintlock" cannot be as efficient as "Terminator's Gatling gun"... Not to mention the huge number of systems and animations. Recently, my work has also fallen into a huge bottleneck of materials...
If the author can see the discussion here, I hope that the work can take "pornography" as a secondary option, and mainly focus on the story system and the adventure stories of different identities... At least this story is very good. I don't like Fury and SEX, but I like "Cthulhu Mythos" and "Quest"... But I only knew this game because of the music... Then, the simple and thoughtful story touched me, and this game became one of the works I paid attention to the longest... Of course, Duke Nukem is the longest...
. Although there are... BL, incest, cuckold, monsters, tentacles... in the game, players can choose to avoid them. (Using body swap to let the succubus control the horse, there is no need for incest.)
Finally, the idea:
1. The game should try to abandon the huge animation content and focus on the plot. If necessary, use AI for the pornographic part... I know, this is the last resort.
2. Adjust the game logistics system. I know that cheating mode can be used, but... sometimes, I have to waste time boringly mating in front of rabbits and constantly resting and mating to gain experience... I even want a woman as a breeding tool to become a MANA replenishment device and a toy for succubus... (I don't know what happened to the agent who was shot in the head by the withering fire. Maybe the dead character can be resurrected and locked in the basement as a tool... evil smile, new fun?)
3. I am very grateful that the author added a bus station to the commercial street... and listened to the feedback from players and fixed bugs in time (for example, the rooftop of the blue lightning can't leave and is soft locked...) I know that this game is not "Soul" and the author is not a person who spreads suffering. What players want is a smooth work and a satisfying story. Instead of "pressing the spacebar to wait for sex" or constantly switching scenes like DQ7 "Runner". Similarly, if a novel game is only about sexual fetishes, then this game is also a failure...
4. I have modified the game (sorry) and changed all women to permanent pregnant women... If possible, I hope that double pregnancy will lead to HYPER pregnancy. There is no need to make additional SEX animations. They will refuse SEX because of the heavy burden on their bodies. However, this will trigger more plots. Similarly, this will affect the side plots and daily life. If you "stop pregnancy", many NPCs will even have their own ideas, and automatically reduce or increase their favorability over time. It's just for entertainment, just fetish, just a side plot.
5. The dream in Chapter 2 has always been a place I am very
curious about. The thing similar to Jack and the Beanstalk, the story of the seven gems, the story of the champion Morning Star and the Crow Mother, etc. And the host of the "stubborn fertility tool" who is single and pregnant... uh, and the mouse who was hit on still doesn't know what happened. It seems that there are still a lot of foreshadowing in Chapter 2. I don't know if the author has written a good story outline. If there are too many plots to be told at one time, it can be reduced and integrated. The plot and character introduction of my new game plan are as high as 350 pages, with more than 300,000 words. Later, I found that many plots and stories were unnecessary. After half a year of sorting, I deleted and compressed about one-seventh of the things. "We can create Donald to take responsibility because of Mickey's stupidity, but we can't create a second Mickey because of Donald's intelligence."
6. If it is correct: It can be reflected in the game that the author does not want players to "run at a fast speed". I once found that if you advance too fast, you will skip the news story of the leopard owner. The author wants players to experience more things, but it is difficult to design because of the bloated system and the consideration of a large number of gameplay points, but the author does not want to force players to do some side quests they don't like, or some disgusting sexual activities or fetish gameplay. The author is like... catching a "sea urchin": every side quest must be done once, even if it is known that the player will not play... Whether it is pure love or Conan, the author must make all these side quests, which is precisely one of the problems of the game's workload surge, and this does not count the possible branching plots. Moreover, there are too many "one-time" materials in the game, and even the piano music of the rabbit plot is only used once. It can even be said that the two maps where the deer family works have been useless for 6 years except for meeting the NPC after arriving.
7. I will continue to pay attention to this game. I will not complain about the author's procrastination, because... I also procrastinated (not pornographic games). Although procrastination is only a word, there are many reasons... huge workload, personal life problems, technical problems, and various mistakes caused by lack of professional experience. Most of these games are not aimed at business and making money, and this group of players are not "wearing glasses". This is not a 3A circle, but just for "LOVE".

Drivers are up to date, Windows is up to date, not getting any thing from antivirus. I've downloaded both from here and Kanashii's site, through MediaFire and mega. No luck. I do have other unity games that give me no issues.

I wonder if it could be something in the appdata folder for the game then. You can find the folder in C:\Users\your_username\AppData\LocalLow\KanashiiPanda\
In the Book of Lust folder there, you can see an output_log.txt that should say a warning somewhere if something didn't load right.
You could also delete the folder. If you do, you should back up your game saves if you want to keep them, then delete the Book of Lust folder. If the game starts up and works, then you can go back to that folder and put your save files back in it, and hopefully it works. If it breaks after putting the save files in, then it's something in one of those save files.

On EndeavorOS with plasma kde, i'm having a few graphical glitches after applying this, with the first being the unity logo flashing
That means it for sure is something with the game files or with DirectX 11, which is beyond my knowledge, sorry.
