Well, at least it's clear what's going on. I was already thinking about removing it from my Steam wishlist so I wouldn't be upset that another interesting project was frozen. Let's hope for the best again.
I understand it's a creative process. And while I liked the first game, this one seemed even more interesting in its style (and maybe I've already played enough of the first one). And it's especially nice that they're on Steam, since payment system blocks in some countries make purchasing impossible. In any case, thank you for sharing your creativity.
