I believe the recent updates over the past 4 or 5 have caused the game to attract increasing attention. However, given the amount of story content added with each update, working on a different route will likely disappoint new supporters, because the tension that has already been building up so far, will dissipate by exploring new routes, I fear it might make it anticlimactic and reduce my interest at that moment.
That’s why I think it would be better for me to wait 3 or 4 updates after the next release, before revisiting the game. But also, since this is a work in progress, it's not really surprising to have unfinished promissing stuff.
Of course, that’s just me lowering my expectations and speculating, I can't deny this game has became one of my favorites so far and it has surprised me many times already.
