Corporate Culture is not abandoned... Primal Instict was abandoned because the dev wanted to make quick money with only 1 release, the guy threatened that if he didn't get X amount of money per month he would abandon the project and release a new game, and in the 2nd game, his modality didn't change so he abandoned it too (his ego's fault).
The game "Connected" was also well received with the first release, but then the dev wanted to do a rewrite and change some characters iirc which caused some losses on his patreon, and I think that's when he started with health problems and disappeared for a while without say nothing (ghosted the patreons) which caused the greatest loss of patreons and that was when the game got the Abandoned tag (more than 3 months without news from the dev) the dev appeared later and said he was going to work on the game but in the end he deleted his account on f95 and the patreon account was removed.
I never paid much attention to the game Our Fate since the updates were small (something like 100-200 renders) but the dev of that one in his peak raised $1500, then it just disappeared.
As for this game, it wasn't abandoned due to lack of interest (at the time the dev was getting $2000 on patreon and it only had 2 updates), it was abandoned because the dev went into milker or scammer mode, promising and talking about the next release, and in the end he only posts monthly WallPapers on his patreon account.(I mean the dev is still making $150-180 for doing nothing lol)
In other words, most games are not abandoned just due to lack of interest, since there are many games that at their peak made good money, many are due to developer burnout, loss of interest, health problems, rewrites/rework, or they start with the typical excuses for milk.
