Don't engage with complainers that don't have real feedback, it usually ends nasty. As a pirate who lives with the bare minimum I do share the "reee" of stomping on paywall. Buut... I mean, I'm not entitled to that content so meh.We still have to rerecord some lines
Also, read earlier in the thread, the paywall is just the early access system from before, nothings changed except putting the free version mechanically on par with the paid version for easier save transfer.
Oddly enough, only the pirate site is complaining about it, itch and discord seem fine with it
Makes you think
That aside, I think your game could benefit from a GUI rework of sorts. It looks... outdated, like it doesn't really reflects the overall quality of the game. I do get the whole focusing on more content but dunno, I feel this deserve that kind of love haha for example the hints, they look like the renpy tutorial one heh
