That isn't what the dev said lmao. Nowhere in the dev log does it say this games dead. I think you should take your own advice about reading ngl
This will not be the end of Evermore. I still fully intend to see the story through to the end because of how much I love it, though it’ll likely be in a different medium.
While the story of Evermore may continue, if it does it will be in a different medium. Maybe, a kinetic novel. Maybe, an RPG Maker game, but this VN is dead and abandoned.
