Yes and no.nooooo that's so sad, ty for your answer tho! (btw i'm playing season 1 but season 2-5 are the sequel right?)
All the stuff not season 1 redux is all the draft work.
I've answered this question so many times.... Sigh
See:
and...Great question. It all depends upon what you want to do.
Do you want to play a version with a lot of content? Go play v0.89.8 "Seasons 1-4" and then v1.07.3 "Season 5" <-- these are both the "in development" versions, not "finished" retail.
If you strictly want a netorare playthrough, play the short completely optional and separate netorare route in v1.07.3 "Season 5" <-- this is the "in development" version, not "finished" retail.
Do you want to see 4k images and video with some additional content added of the first 20% or so of the game, all of it in AI generated art? Play Season 1 Redux. <-- this is the "finished" retail version, nothing more will be added to it. Further Season Redux versions will be separate downloads in the future.
Because of itch's rules, Redux has violating content removed. It is unpatched. If you want the content, download the official patch and install it within the Redux. See instructions in the installation spoiler.
Here's the TL;DR:
They named everything through v0.89.8 as "Seasons 1-4" in July of 2023. They stated at that time they were going to break those up into season at some point down the line. (Basically, from what I can tell - its primarily because of Uberpie's inability to figure out saves continuing over different releases AND that the size of the game - in GB - was getting too much and they didn't want to keep adding to the size)
They got kicked off Patreon in March of 2024 (for violating policies regarding content, for years even after having to revamp Family Tales/Taffy Tales in 2018 and saying they would not violate policies further). At that time, they decided it was time to break apart into Seasons to sell as retail versions on Steam. The first - "Season 1 Redux" - was revised, revisited, and revamped the User Interface and other aspects while also using AI for the art modeled upon Uberpie's previous artwork.
Steam did not accept their submission in January of 2025 due to the "gray area" of the school (college) setting with younger looking characters. And so they are now selling "Season 1 Redux" on itch.io. They also recently created a censored version that is for sale on DLsite
