it said it would release by 2023. (no Specific date) and then it said 2024 (no specific date) and now its more than halfway through 2025 and still the same bs. i'm starting to think its a kick starter scam. edit: also no updates of development at all since this demo came out.
You may want to fact check the details. The Kickstarter updates are public, and there were 5 updates in 2024 and two updates in 2025, and those updates include things like
> A close family member had a heart attack and heart surgery and has needed a lot of support since.
> Ongoing play-testing finding new critical game-breaking bugs.
> New sprites, including a preview of what looks like some kind of poledancing rhythm game.
> Most recent progress on the game has been late-game content and thus is all spoilers and would be awkward to share.
