The public demo is out now, game is still not finally released yet but it seems to come to an end:

" The development of Chapter Two has been a long road and admittedly I'm very nervous about finally putting something out for you all to play, as I know it's been far too long! But I really do hope you enjoy what the demo has to offer and that it gets you excited for the full release coming down the line. (It won't be tooooo much longer, I promise!) "

Does this mean it's no longer abandoned?

Without downloading it, it looks like a really old demo to me. Probably from 2 or so years ago. It's a decent game and I used to sub until I got fed up of the dev spending so little time on actually working on the game.

Imho it was never really abandoned by Dev, the game got the tag, because dev needs so many years to develope it, what is totally fine.

Meanwhile there is a playable version of the main story out for patreons and Frostworks is polishing sidequests and so on. I talked to him from time to time, and the project just got much bigger as he expected. I forgot the number of words he has already in the story but it ´s several books like, so the game is a giant compared to the first part and he ´s a perfectionist, so I assume the game will be much better then the first part.

Dev asked at ulmf forum years ago to close the thread there, as he felt guilty and stressed for the long progress. He won ´t mind keeping the thread tagged as abandoned here I guess, until the game is finished. Also I think he got upset being called a scamer by people, cause of the long development and will try to avoid bad feedback until he can show his final product.

I dunno if he still takes a look here from time to time, he ´s more active at patreon and his twitter account. He ´s a nice person as I can tell so please be the same if you contact him folks.

The post about the demo is from 4 days ago, I didn ´t look into it, as I want to play the full game when it is out and I don ´t want to be spoilled. I don t have a patreon account but here is the link for the demo announcement:

Was surprised to see any movement on the game. After downloading it and plugging the previous demo's save in, I saw that there was no new content. Now I may have fucked up inserting old save but this looks like just the same old demo from years back.
Saw on the site that he was thinking of making this into a 4 chapter game, something tells me the heat death of the universe will occur before he finishes chapter 3, let alone 4.

Hiya! Thank you so much for following me for so long--it's very much appreciated! No estimation so far since they always come back to haunt me, haha, but I'm plugging away at things every day. Hopefully not too long now at any rate."

Well, he wrote this under one of his posts on X in the comment section. As I understand he doesn ´t want to promise deadlines for the final release he can ´t keep, comments like that are to vague to create excitement, at least something like "Game will be released in this year" would have been helpful but telling nothing won ´t help him to get attention for his game, or help the waiting players. At least the main part of the game seems to be finished and playable, but hidden behind patreon paywall, and now he ´s finishing the side quests. So a release this year might be realistic maybe?

About the demo I dunno, maybe it got polished up or something, I didn´t look there myself, I only played the very old leak of the game years ago. I ´ll keep an eye on the progress, if I find some news about the final release, I´ll post them here from time to time.
