Someone please tell me why there are 500 pages for this only 3 month old game ?
It was pretty mid when I "finished" this yet unfinished game but what exactly are you guys seeing in this game for the future ?
was it the niche genre that doesn't get worked with much or what am I missing here ?
The game is actually much older than that.
The game is moderately fun, but its interface design is very unobvious. Things were the worst at the start, before the developer added "show keybindings" button, but people still have a lot of questions like "how do I tame people?" or "why don't rabbits breed at my breeding farm?" (breeding farm doesn't actually breed anyone - it just collects milk and wool from appropriate species).
At this point, the game has multiple guides, like the one in my signature, just to help people who are lost.
To make things worse, with 500 pages of discussion, it's unreasonable to expect people to read them all and find answers, so they just keep asking questions over and over. Even reading 17 pages to find the first guide is unreasonable.

Niche genre of it being an actual game, not just a Ren'Py VN.
The game has a broad appeal, because you don't actually have to do all the mad stuff like making shields out of people. But if you do want to, you can. Likewise, you can download DLC and breed DLC women, or you can avoid that. You can play lose-to-see-sex with female MC, or you can play male MC as a rapist, or you can play male MC as a decent person.
There are several other survival-themed games on this site, but this one is one of the best, even with all its flaws. Even a simple comparison of discussion with recently shared "Parasites" shows the difference.
