It's just a loading screen. I don't think there is any deep reason behind it. she could just be relaxing skinnydipping in the lake.
I remember in the game, the animation here would be accompanied by text that strange noises would sometimes come from the bottom of the lake... I dived for a long time for this without finding anything
And the plot really thickens... That is one way for the witches to really mess with the MC. I am assuming she survived and will be coming back. Likely as a damsel in distress for him to rescue... And be humiliated in front of.
It's still being updated. This is basically a beta version at most so far.
You're not missing much tbh. Just wait for a patched version in the future where it'll hopefully be optimized.
hopefully there will be such version, cuz Unreal doesn't cooperate well unless an actual TEAM of ppl who know the damn thing inside and out work with it, and I frankly don't see a solo indie dev like NG being that
Under the Witch is obviously inspired by Tower of Trample, I'd be more surprised ih Numeric DIDN'T know Bowei or Koda
I don't know if I would say inspired but it does share some common fetishes and character archetypes. I think inspired would be giving Boda too much credit.
Sadly you can't. As for rn, the earlier version is much more developed than 0.2A.
