I've been playing it for the first time, and it's been kind of a bittersweet experience, knowing the state of its "abandonment". There's just so much that feels like it's going to be left unfinished. The aunt and her you-know-who. The neighbor and her daughter. The therapist. A few of the students. It seems like there was a good amount of content left to go. So unless the dev drops a HUGE update with 1.0, it'll always have that "what could have been" feeling about it.
Personally I'd be fine with the characters that have virtually no content anyway just having the work-in-progress status dropped if it meant the more in-depth ones would actually get finished. Still working on Linda, Caroline, Sara, and Celia's paths, but have hit the end with pretty much everyone else as far as I know. Hopefully I won't run out of content *too* quickly. This game set a bar of high quality, imho.
