To me personally it looks like that the dev (and so many others, who abandoned their game) had no ending worked out for his project. They hit a wall in their story and to work around that wall, new characters with sidestories are implemented. When I notice new characters in games with nothing to add to the core of the story I become pessimistic regarding the future of these projects.
