To what I know, you can get a decent chunk from twitter and discord. But yes: They DO dodge a lot of questions.
For what specific reasons though, I can't say. It could be completely genuine reasons.
And I wouldn't say "unfinished" unfinished per se. As: The pethio route will be fully fledged. It's more a questions of what (if any) will be heavily cut. Anyhow: I don't recall if they had a patreon up by then... they prolly did. But even if: They're literally not legally obligated to deliver anything. (As seen by several kickstarters.) As online wise: That all works on a "blind trust" principal.
Of what I've seen over the years. It's been more of a "sideways shuffle" that most games do. Start off big: Then gradually phase things out they either fail to deliver and/or lost interest in. While including other stuff they randomly picked up interest in, or felt comfortable including. (like hyper inflation. That one was kinda left field.) It can as said also be the fans that triggered it. Ex: They laid out their game plan. But fans said that X sucks and they want more Y instead. It's hard to tell when they're always so vague.
Did this reply get cut off or what? As it doesn't seem to be completed.
Some do indeed~.
And: They are not imaginary. Do some basic research. If you check the first page of this thread. "Female domination" is a prominently featured genre. That said: The "lesbian" tag HAS been removed. So, that does support the theory that they got too lazy to properly include it. Despite this: During a discord stream review. Someone said that the game doesn't really contain any lesbian content. Someone that watched said stream: Got curious and asked about this. Since "we have lesbians!" is plastered ALL OVER the fucking steam and itch page. The creators got a bit defensive on that. Giving the "strong" counter that: The game currently has a whole 3, unfinished lesbian animations. Which... is the opposite of impressive. During a twitter post. They said they were considering adding something lesbian of any weight. In addition to claiming that you WILL be able to "play only lesbian". And, during a NG post: There was a slight brag/showing off that: "One of the guards... is a GIRL. So: Yeah... didn't see that coming, did you?" (Which: At the time: Yes, that was a plot twist. As by that point of the story: For all we knew: All women were second class citizens/property. So... how the fuck did one become a guard? Basically upper class.)
As pointed out: You may get your wish as it seems probable that they will sweet that part under the rug, and continue to falsely advertise the game. Most likely not even correcting the blurb. So: Yeah. If it DOES pull a "Panthea". There's not much to do other than give it a poor rating, specify the exception and move on. So yeah. This type of game is a great example of why you can't trust to support most games until they are finished. Which is the opposite of what the community should be building. Again: On both NG, Twitter AND Disc: There has been specified that there WILL be a "pure route" and it's the "nightmare difficulty" of the game. The more you whore out: The easier the game becomes. The more you stay loyal to your GF, the harder the game becomes. You get less gear, less content, less unique equipment, less route, less choices. Going with your attitude... I wouldn't be surprised if the only reward for beating the game this way, was an achievement that went "[Lol, sucker!]" and the description "Now go play the game as you're supposed to!". I don't know about you: But if I beat a game at the highest difficulty... I expect a bigger reward than both 1: A minigame I unlock by just starting the game. 2: Losing to the first enemy on very easy... that said: I don't assume it will be an even percentage split. I DO however expect the Pethio route to NOT make up ~92 % of the entire game. Then have a wet fart as all other advertised content. If a game claims it contains X, it damn well better contain X. Otherwise it's as genuine as a "nut bar" that contains 1 % nuts.
I've had little reason to doubt this project. I was with it since the first post at NG. And it made great progress and improvements every ~3 months or so. I'd say that only the last ~6 months has it become a bit fishy. (Though, yes: I guess you can argue that I missed all the "red flags" as it gradually snuck in weirder and weirder shit on the fetish scale without a counterpart. Along with the massively more elaborate things, also without counterparts. So, yeah: You can probably be able to say I got bamboozled for being dumb enough to trust the pitch of a game. But as said: It built up a really solid trust at the get go. So, maybe it's just me who is naive when it comes to TC. Maybe they DID pull a 180 when I wasn't looking. I'll have to wait and see.
