Whoa, I just realized—the last update was over a year ago! Personally, I like to wait for a year’s worth of updates before replaying a game on this site, and only if there are three or more updates during that time.
What surprises me the most, though, is how overwhelmingly positive the comments are here. In other games, after months of waiting, people usually start worrying about the game being abandoned. (By the way, after a year without updates, doesn’t the game normally get the "On Hold" tag?)
Is there a particular reason behind the strong support you all have for this game?
What do you mean, "overwhelmingly positive"? There are a lots of 2-3 stars reviews at the recent reviews page that criticize literally every part of the game. The average weighted rating is 4.2, which is very low for a game of WiAB's quality. So it's not all that clear-cut.
If you mean the comments in this thread, they are mostly from regulars who have long ago decided on their attitude to the game. They can be annoyed by Ocean's unpredictable turns or changes, be pissed by his slow work, but in general they love both the game and its characters. Those who do not like the game have long since splashed out their frustration and left the thread, they are bored here, and there are a lot other games for every taste in the Zone. The main problem is the slow updates, otherwise the game looks great, in my opinion most of the renders look like separate frames from a movie. The plot has many mysteries, vague hints that attract attention and cause long discussions and inventing theories about what will happen next. Interesting characters, a lot of emotionally charged scenes that make you sympathize with these characters. While there are some porn scenes in the game, porno and fetish exploration are not the main focus of the game's plot. So if you were attracted to this game by, for example, the NTR tag, I'm afraid there's little in the game's plot that has anything to do with it yet.
Basically, those who stayed here to regularly write negative posts are either trolls or people who have a personal grudge against Ocean, the rest are tired of it long ago and moved along. Although this is just my opinion, I haven't read what they write now, as I've added most of these users to my ignore list over the past couple of years.
