dont understand this game at all, just free play works and u can just watch few scenes, rpg mode cant pass the gate ,story mode only battle and cant win...
i kinda explain that in the post just above yours. The developer (who i think is just one guy) is not developing like most people do. usually a developer sets himself a clear goal for a game, then develops the game around that goal. This guy however, doesnt do that. all he is doing is just going for something he feels like doing.
Let me explain in more detail (Long post ahead, sorry for the trouble, im really pissed off at this guy)
When i came upon this game, this guy had developed the rpg mode, which is pretty much the same as it was back in 2016. This was ok because i thought that he was going for 2 modes in the game, one where you played as the master of the northwood layer (which is the free play mode) and one where you played as miku and tried to escape the northwood layer. This, was fine.
Moving forward in time, combat mode in the story (which has been like that for a year now) was released, and there was no news on the rpg system while free play mode had a few more animations and scenes.
This is where i started to notice some problems with the game, so i went to check on the patreon. He is developing not one, but 3 separate games with 3 different focus. there is the miku waifu mode, which i believe should be just like the northwood lair but with miku as a waifu and nothing more. There is a game which is pretty much a visual novel (or should work like that).
But the problem doesnt end there. He is one person, and there is a limit on how fast can a person develop one game. He hasnt made the main game mechanics and is still releasing content that doesnt move forward the project as a whole.
This way of doing things would never work in common games, it only works on hentai games because we come for the content and not the gameplay. That is the reason developers can do this kind of shit.
I know the game has good content (i am rather impressed by it to be honest) but this guy doesnt focus on one aspect of it and just develops something for some time, then never touches it again.
I am not against him doing what he like or feels like doing. I am against him developing a game that people have to pay for to play without a clear focus on content. This game has a ton of content for the small time he puts in said content, now just imagine how much content could he have put out if he had just focused on the free play mode alone.
This game could be a big thing just for the amount of content alone, but since this guy is not consistent, we have a pretty tiny thing.
The game is fine now, but believe me when i say, this game could be a beast with the proper focus from the developer.
Sorry for the long post
