What you need to know is that the whole game is already planned and written (it's the coding and rendering that takes all this time), so what may not make sense now may be completely evident two or five chapters down the road. None of the freeroam stuff is required to enjoy the game, but also it is not simply random stuff that will lead to nowhere. The game is made to be divide into chapters but will shine its brightest when the whole story will be out
So you're saying the info from the first magazine on the ship will be integral to bringing down the dark empire?What you need to know is that the whole game is already planned and written (it's the coding and rendering that takes all this time), so what may not make sense now may be completely evident two or five chapters down the road.

Well, that half of the game hasn't been developed yet. So, there's no need to get frustrated because it's not they lack purpose, it's just that we're not that far in the story yet to be able to see it. I think it's important to understand and accept that this is an unfinished game in development and at this point of progress there are far more questions than answers.

Then I guess all that's left is to wait and see. I still feel like I should be able to blow up the whole station by now, or something of major significance, given the suddenly increase in gameplay complexity on the last chapter. Anyway I hope my suggestions and criticism may have helped in some way.
If you pay attention to the info on your diagnostics tablet, then you know exactly what using the right tool on different objects does.

They advance the engineering mini-game. If you've played BaDIK think if it like the mansion game. At the current progression of the story we can start it, but not finish it.
There are several interactions that add new clues to the tablet.
And I've found 2 that will advance the progress %. Example: The server in the Cistern will advance the software diagnosis to 20%.
And I, mostly, like the addition of 'action points' to the free-roam in the 3rd chapter. Do you want to blow a ton of time on interactions with the characters or do you want do your job (engineer) and solve the power mystery.
My main criticism of the free-roam is that I want a indicator to show how many 'action points' I have before the free-roam ends. It's tricky managing your 'time' properly when you don't have a watch
Your question doesn't make sense to me.
What do you mean by story focused? there's a lot of hidden objects that affect the story, several elements of sandbox and time management games, it's really far from a kinetic VN, and yet has no way to keep track of which path you're on, not even a basic gallery. The game is also not even at 30% of what it is supposed to be, so it's more of a tech demo than a game at this point.
First of all, all of that is optional and every single thing you do affects the story, every single choice, and second, no one said anything about a garbage kinetic novel, this has a ton of choice, and all of your choices matter. This is not a sandbox, it is a Choose Your Own Adventure Visual Novel.
What does Callisto have to do with this game? AFAIK the Dev of this game isn't associated with that one.
Hidden objects in a free-roam don't make it a sandbox game.
I don't think you quite understand what "on rails" means.
Probably this month or beginning of the next but don't quote me on that, all I know is that she's in the refining and testing phase.
This seems like a reasonable timeframe based on the informations I have. I understand that you feel like you've been burnt before and choose not to believe it. Just don't go accusing me of posting fake estimates and being dishonest like I'm in on some big conspiracy or something please.
People only have so much info to give on here, Notty doesn't post here, she abandoned this place a long time ago. I think it was January the last time she popped her face in and even then she didn't hang around.
You may not be intentionally lying, but the reality is for months and months the same phrase is used whenever anyone asks about how much longer, "sometime this month or early next month". There are now chats in multiple other threads and people were making jokes about when that line was going to be used this month. The honest truth is that you don't know when it will be complete.
Your point being...? Just wait, it's not like you're actually paying for it (if you were, I guess you'd be whinning in her patreon and not in a pirate forum). People ask for release date and other people just tell them what they know, there's no reason to be salty about it. It's ready when it's ready.
