It doesn't matter. They gave their word that the price would not go up. Why tell people that it wouldn't go up and then raise it so significantly? Also, I'm not sure if you are able to afford buying a game twice but I can't, I was planning on buying it on Steam when it released there but now since the price has almost tripled, I won't be able to.

I am disappointed to the level of not buying the game at all, and not just because I won't be able to afford it.

I'll just keep playing the version I have, the old free one.

Hi! We’ve added voice acting and a lot of other things we didn’t plan to thanks to our growth and support from our fans. These things cost a lot of money, and the new price of the game is still significantly lower than what a lot of games with this content would charge. We have to create a sustainable product to ensure we can give our staff pay increases and continue to make content. We totally understand the frustration but as has been clearly stated in every post we’ve made about this, anyone who paid for the $5 version WILL get the ReVamp as a free download. Please make sure you read our posts as this has always been the case and we’re not going back on our word on that!

Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy it on itch AND on steam. Maybe if my situation improves, I'll be able to eventually buy a copy on steam, but as of right now, I'm unable to.

The versions here and on Steam will be exactly the same if that's what you mean/is your concern. So buying it on just one platform will get you the same game. We're sorry if this is confusing or an inconvenience, we're really just trying to finally value our work at what it truly deserves. We thank you wholeheartedly for your support either way!

It's not the content I'm concerned about (which I'm sure will be awesome) its the price. In my currency, the game currently costs over almost two hundred. I simply can't afford it at the current price. I had some money saved up in my steam wallet specifically for it, but since the price increased, I won't be able to buy it.

I don't think an extra 7 dollars is THAT considerable. To be honest, I play a shit ton of otomes. I can tell you for a fact that they could have easily charged $60 plus dollars for this and I would have happily paid because of Gideon Emery ALONE. And I would not have been sour about that price after paying. what you need to realize is that the people who made this VN need to earn money from their work, or they can't keep doing it. And with big name voice actors like Gideon Emery, there is an increase in cost to the project. We are LUCKY that this gem is only $12. So since that extra $7 is about the price of a fast food meal, I think you should be fine. Purchase the game, play it, then see if you still want to complain. Free is nice, but artists gotta eat to you know.
