That's the massive upside of 2D art. Quality 2D ages well and hardly ever goes out of date. The early cartoons will soon be a century old and yet one can still watch them without issues, while others like Bugs Bunny or Tom&Jerry are indeed still actually popular, despite being up to ~80 years old.
Feature creep describes it quite well, though I'd say that quite a few of them are actually welcome.
At the start the game could have been summed up like follows:
- mostly simple art with simple shading, which was just about good enought to be acceptable quality wise (not talking about character designs, as these can be argued about) - including some actual inconsistencies.
- 2 frame "animations"
- no/hardly any cut scenes
- no pregnacy
- very simple/repeatable quests to save dev time, like "earn money -> buy item x -> hand it over -> repeat" or even just "handing over money->done".
Then again, it's not like it matters that much. As mentioned above, the game is going to age well and a few years more or less ultimately won't really matter.
