It's actually a good game, perhaps with a skip button, the game could be more digestible, as some people don't care for dialogue. The use of AI isn't a problem for me, as long as it maintains a consistent level of quality without altering the characters' appearance, especially since it speeds up development. Regarding the content, some people apparently don't understand that there will be more episodes like Episode 2, with even more content, in the near future. For a game with this kind of content and an unknown title, it actually did well on Steam.
Now that you're getting more criticism because of the release for everyone, take the biggest critics, because they're the ones who truly represent the majority, because the rest are isolated, and ignore the hate. As a developer, you need to understand that you're subject to all kinds of criticism, whether valid or not. It's difficult, but you need to shield yourself, accept those valid criticisms, and produce the best product. If you can't address an issue, you explain why you left it that way. In any case, the game is good for those interested in this type of content.
