Based on the comments, I believe the game will be paused/cancelled soon.
And this is a common pattern that I have noticed over the years, when the game goes too far out of the norm, has very elaborate graphics, very convoluted mechanics, complexity of gameplay. The game usually doesn't reach the end, I see that the developers want a large world of variety, but underestimate the work and time that this will require.
It's a shame, this game really differentiated itself from the others, and because it differentiated itself, it ended up becoming too heavy a boulder to carry.
The great irony is that most differentiated games follow the same fate.

Yeah, the real problem was the mid-way shift from a solo RPG to a card based one/VM. Consistency is key when creating games.

i know the dev won't read this, but(on the older version):
-all you needed to do was be clear about what the story unfolds. that would help you focus on what needs developing.
-what is saria's goal? reaching city X to complete Y mission?
-develop city X and do the endings... 1 for slutty builds, 1 for normal builds, 1 for virgin builds.
-now go backwards, you already had the starting wasteland, the main city and some extra maps in between, put some "bad ends" that trigger some flags when you get to city X for extra dialogue.
-finish the cg's for the enemies multiple body parts
-done, masterpiece of a short game with enjoyable battle-sex

Look at Karryn... it's 3 floors with a lot of content, and then floor 4 and 5 with the ending situations.
it's not a massive task to emulate since you already had almost all of the building blocks.

The VN we have now is just bad, we lost enemy targeting for specific fetishes, which was the main draw of the game, being even more fetishized than KP. we lost slut builds since getting sexed is now a losing condition. we lost everything that made the game appealing...

if the VN scenes with her boss and such were tacked between the already promising maps you had, we would be cheering for the full release of the game already.

but THIS???? this is trash now.

I wonder how many supporters joined Patreon to support the dev's art and saw the game as a bonus vs those who joined due to the game?
I was one that had supported him for like well over a year because of Saria, but instantly dropped it the moment the VN changes happened.

Went from a regularly updated better looking Karryn's Prison, to w.e the fuck it became. I liked Saria's art so much more than Karryn's, that I haven't been able to enjoy Karryn's since.

i can't understand why so many people are mad this game was rebuild into something unplayable and then abandoned.
Hello, it was never good in the first place. Just a low effort trash cheap copy of karryn's prison with dumb gameplay and above average art. The dev literally had no idea what he was doing, it was a mess from the start
I can't speak for anyone else, but no matter how good the mechanics were in Karryn's Prison, the main character was atrociously unfappable.
For me it was a glimmer of hope to see a similar system but with an actually attractive character.

Velminth, pls fix the coom on the screen after bandit bukkake. This bug has been present since the last update. Also, some mood management cards would be nice as well.

I must say the old version was a lot better than this one older version had exploration, quest-reward system that feels like you improve gain new abilities and exploring and advancing in the story with different ways (You could go naked fighter win enemies by get them cum. Or go wild kill them all) But in this one no exploration no quest-reward no options to fight you must do same fight over and over again and sexual interactions in fights are a lot worse, I mean it got hold on right now but if it will be continued in the future, i hope it will be updated on the old version one. That was a lot better than this. Also there is some cg's you can see after filling up the bar under the first location how to fill up is so stupid you spam dick symbol and skip time till it got full. I mean new build is just bad.
Dude, honestly the new version fucking sucks dick through a hose and not even in a good way.
I was kinda depressed because it objectively made the game worse in nearly every possible way.

Dont agree with all of this but it was really refreshing to see a character that didnt have the outright Comical proportions of Karryn although the sheer content of KP was good enough for me

With you entirely though, I was really hoping this would end up being on an even remotely similar level to it

How do i increase my stats? And is there anything that actually tells me how to use the UI? I'm stuck on chapter 1-4 because the enemy has instakill moves, at one point i started with 12 health instead of 10 but have no idea how i got it? I've tried searching for some sort of guide on here but because the games been remade im only finding guides for the original version, anyone help?

Edit: This game is SUPER unbalanced imo enemies can hit you for 9HP twice in a row and your max hp is capped at 10, ive had a look and it seems like there is no way to level up or increase your stats at all (So how did i have 12 HP at one point?!) The game has no real tutorial, ive just used a save editor to give myself 100hp and defense, cba with the ambiguity surrounding the mechanics

Edit Edit: The game ends at 2-1?! And there isnt even any extra content after 1-4, If you're stuck at 1-4 like i was honestly dont bother, youve seen all there is, just play the pre-remake version.

Does anyone have a copy of the 13.1 version or any other older versions? I want to see the combat before the card game system.

why is it always the games with the most promise end up going to shit. i mean like i was honestly thought that this game could be amazing if finished but dev-kun just remakes game from scratch randomly, makes the encounters near impossible without cheats, then puts the game on hold (fancy term for fucking abandoned). so disappointing..
