It's always worth downloading if you ask me. Best game on this site. Think this game is on a 3 month cycle and last release was 1/06, so... early-mid March would be my guess, if everything goes well for Neon!
But also, after this next update, then the update
after that will redo chapter 1 and bring its quality up to the rest of the chapters as well as resolve some issues people had with it (for example, adding a friend route for the LI instead of forcing you to fuck her, adding more relationship development for them, etc.). And I believe Neon said everyone will have to restart the game anyways because he's also cleaning up some code. Assuming the same cycle, I'd guess that'd be in June-ish? Redoing the chapter might even take less time for him, though, so I'm not sure. Just keep that in mind whatever decision
Good luck buddy, I think you will enjoy it
