lmfao no the fuck it isn't? the updated demo on their Patreon is already massive, so the full game when it's out is gonna be even bigger. I've bought visual novels that are 15. God forbid someone charges an appropriate price for their games, huh?

There are visual novels out there that cost 20 or that have DLCs that cost cost 15 with half of the content. These aren't people who produce games at a large scale. This is a niche market and they have staff to pay and production costs to meet. I know it can feel like a large cost relative to the several free visual novels that exist but those are often passion projects that aren't made to support people. Look at the art style and look at the fact they're hiring voice actors. The costs are already higher than most visual novels and by the nature of business, if you're paying, that's what you're paying for. 

this is one of the cheapest visual novels out here broda. it takes time, art making, soundtracks and coding, even tho visual novels don't need the massive coding like 3d games, it still takes a huge amount of time and money to make (Since they use voices and all)
