From everything I have found, or better said, NOT found this AVN is in deed dead. Itch should pull it since it seems clear taht Dob3d is no longer active or interested in continuing the game. They for sure should not be charging ANY money for it. JMHO
Yeah. That seems to happen a LOT with games that developers have abandoned but itch is still charging money for. And when you complain to itch about this they claim that the money goes to the developer which is clearly false when the developer is not longer active as found when looking for their Patreon or SubscribeStar pages which BOTH come up as "Removed". Then of course not responding to posts for 3 years on their itch game pages. A REAL shame that itch treats developers so poorly that they move on and then the games left on itch end up profiting itch because the developer does not come back.
