The game is good, it's clear that some real effort was put into it, there was someone who really wanted to make a great product with this game, and he did.
If there was something like a laundry money plot behind or something like this they just could've released a shitty game tu catch a few bucks quickly and done, they didn't have to make such good characters and such good story and put so much effort into this.
My thoughts are that the creator of this game simply got bored of working on it and dropped the project, though I wish he came back to work on it soon.
