In v0.40.5, the developer recommends starting a new game yet again. I totally stand by what I said before: don't bother starting this game until it's completed.
Updated review for v0.40.31-Extended:
I've tried this game several times only to find I can't really get anywhere or see any new content because of how the game is being developed. With v0.40.1, I started over from the beginning hoping to see what I might be missing and almost everything in the first 10 minutes of play had changed from older versions, but then, the game said that new content is over, but players can continue playing old content. You need only look at the changelog to see that updates typically consist of changes to old content and bugfixes. Updates rarely carry the story forward, and almost always introduce new bugs. There doesn't seem to be any real plan to release content that is enjoyable to play from one update to the next. Given that old content keeps getting reworked, it doesn't seem like there's any plan at all. It's hard to believe that players actually start over from the beginning on every update to see the "new" content. This game has been a continuous mess for 3 years. I just can't see a reason to download and try this game again before it gets the [completed] tag.
