I would just download it and find out for myself, but ... there is currently a big warning label that says "you may as well wait for the next release," sooo. I am very curious.
So my honest advice as the Dev is...don't play it. Not yet. Give it a few weeks and then try it where the experience will be significantly better.
I am going to have to respectfully disagree with the developer here. While she's working tirelessly on remastering her renders to make it look better, I'd encourage you to go ahead and download the current game and give it a shot.
1st -- its just three chapters. You can probably play through the 3 chapters (the first time) in less than an hour and you will get to see what the fuss is all about...
2nd -- BELIEVE ME.... you are going to play it through again, making different choices. And again, making different choices.... and then again, trying to break the system... and again, "for reals". Now you have gotten 3 hours of fun out of an hours worth of content.
3rd -- You will now have a frame of reference for "most" of what is discussed here... i say "most" because it can go off the rails fairly easily, but that is the other amazing part that the game itself created a little community of fellow travelers that kind of check in with each other daily, hourly, minute-Ly? with each other just "cause".
4th -- The new renders are going to make it sexier - but the content/story isn't changing, so when It does come out, you can oooh and ahhhh with the rest of us and not feel like the noob.
Welcome aboard, now go get started!
*PS*
and if you like the game, I'd encourage you to go to the patreon and throw some coin the developers way.... if ever there was a new developer that deserved patronage, it is this one.
PPS
There are a few developers from other games that hang out here from time to time... which is a god sign. And birds of a feather..... so go check them out as well cause they are quite interesting too!.
