@ApexMerc What you are saying is false/outdated (my fault tho).
While we do have a Patreon, our Itch/GameJolt and other store pages where we sell the game are not "just an ad for the game." Each chapter will be released to patrons first - in early-access, until it is ready/finished being polished and tested.
Once the latest chapter is no longer in early-access we release it here.
This is not uncommon practice nor should it be surprising, as it wouldn't make sense to sell a game to people before we're 100% sure it's ready and bug-free.
Originally we did plan to only release Chapter 1 here (for free) and keep the rest exclusive to Patreon, but we changed our plans a long time ago due to popular demand. I've updated the game-page to reflect this as well.
