I wouldnt get my hopes up with ICSTOR dude has to be the number 1 scammer in adult VNs im just going to assume he was losing alot of patreon subs since he stopped all updates and patreon post and now hes having a hard time making his house payment....
Oh I 100% agree here, the only thing that may work in our favor is ICSTOR has announced a new title and is trying to gain support that for that title, ICSTOR might view it has finishing this game as a chance to boost support for the new title.
Again I am trying to think positive here, it's unlikely but I guess I would not mind seeing this game ending of sorts even if it is a tad rushed at the end. At the time when this game came out and was supported more it was a great game to read.
