Not weird at all in a commercial project, really. I can't speak for the devs here, but basically there's legal risks if an entity that's not registered as a non-profit or government organization uses volunteers, because any benefits you give a volunteer counts as compensation for their work, which brings employment laws into play.
So for example, say you're making a game, a volunteer programmer puts in 200 hours of work into it, you sell the game for $50, and give the programmer a free copy as gratitude for helping you out. The volunteer can now turn around and sue you for only "paying" them $50 for 200 hours of work, criminally below minimum wage.
It's not even theoretical, back in 2000 volunteer GMs for Ultima Online sued Origin Systems over this exact issue: they volunteered to moderate the MMO, got some benefits in return for it, and wound up filing a class action lawsuit to get paid for their work instead. The industry learned to not use volunteers after that.

I finally received my new GPU and I used this game/demo to pop its cherry. I liked it . It's promising especially knowing that there's not a lot of good 3D H games with an interesting story . The dialogues are still rough but I 'm sure the devs will correct this later . I already see why a lot of people won't like it, you have to choose what you do with your character while the time continue its course and you can't stop it and can't go back if you miss something specific . Personally it doesn't bother me because you can interact with things contrary to some soulless open world H games where there is nothing to do . Something I would like is an option to slow the clock by ×2 or ×4 to have more time to roam and search around and a flashlight (even if it's a bad flashlight for the ambiance) but I'm sure that it's already planned .
If what the devs say they are planning is the truth, then the time constraints are not an issue, supposedly only the 5-7 first days are time sensitive and those are "in the past" and the rest of the game will be sandbox-like. So I assume those days will be more like a "character creation arc"(make the skills/flaws/kinks/virtues of your character known) rather than something you have to stress about min/maxing.
What I had in mind was the guy sending them assets without having access to the project whatsoever. But I think you and SomeOriginalUsername answered what could go wrong.
Thanks for the insight, I guess I'm too gullible for this world. Out of curiosity, since you seem more knowledgeable than I on that topic, can a volunteer sue a company if he hasn't received any benefits, unlike your example?
Yes I asked here and in their Discord. In the discord they said something like it would be too difficult to bring someone on? Which makes me think they aren't using source control effectively. Maybe they are using it, but if it's making it difficult to bring one person onto your tiny team, then you are not using source control very well or at all.

The Devs are working in the game actually.
If you check Discord you can see dev updates almost everyday, and if you check patreon you can see the work they done at the week.

Well, devs have legit thread on this forum: https://f95zone.to/threads/wl-on-steam-deluded-adult-survival-rpg-v0-3-5-1.127248/
I'm not really qualified to say, I just happen to know about this particular industry quirk because I played UO and one of my friends happened to be a volunteer GM, so I paid quite a bit of attention to the case. That said, for-profit companies only get away with using volunteers if it's for a charity event, typically employees (and maybe their family members) are the only volunteers and they don't get any sort of benefits or compensation for it. I think in those cases the lawsuits only happen if the employees accuse the employer of pressuring them to volunteer.
People might also wonder if unpaid internships count as volunteer work, but that's technically legal because it's classified as education, since students get the position through their college programs.

Is there a more updated version that doesn't require me to grab it from Steam? Even assuming I had the money, I don't like the thought of sending my friends an update that I'm watching porn
They added an option to keep games you buy private. You just add the game to cart, then where you used to select if it's for you or a gift to someone else, you can pick the "For Your Account: Private" option and the purchase won't show up in your activities and nobody will see you play it.
If there are no change of plans, the steam version won't be available before v 0.9 and currently it's v 0.3.5.1 so until then you can get the game either through patreon (sub or I think you can just buy a build), subscribestar or itchio, note that what you buy on itchio is not the full game but the current build, which means that if you buy the current version, you'll need to buy 0.4 to play it.

Okay, clearer question:
Is there somewhere I can pirate the game for free on this site for pirating games for free? Or is 3.5 the latest version overall?
