I hate to say that the extreme lack of content and transparency made me lose all hope for this game.
Instead of saying what's wrong with the game or showing any meaningful progress they instead make merch and upload meaningless "lore" videos or memes onto their Youtube channel. Ever since 0.8 the game just hasn't had anything meaningful added. The gameplay took an extreme nose dive and we've gotten barely any NSFW content on the game for months.
Maddie's addition was lazily implemented and not very engaging, it makes sense for her character, but just is not interesting from a gameplay standpoint. I've been told the devs are busy, but from my perspective it just looks like the game's stuck in development hell.
