Naw, it wasn't a scam it was unfortunate situations that cause the dev to just wipe the game. From getting rid of the NTR content that enrage those you like it even with the dev stating he took it out cause couldn't fit it into the story or it would be more work than just going full vanilla.
Another was patreon shut his page for investigation due to their shit rules and someone reporting his page cause they got butt hurt from the content display or no NTR being done.
And when he did switch to subcribestar he didn't get as many people from his patreon to donate on it, ultimately causing this game to be abandon. Plus I think he was doing an office job which also takes up your time.
From what I've seen he's trying to make a new game but its failing miserably to lack of communication and work being done on it. Sad cause I liked the models in the game and the changes the women go through when corrupted to a certain stage, but due to bugs and a weird UI system that was stiff and being a sandbox didn't help with getting people engage to it.
