It's an additional patch that turns the Public Version into the Patreon Version pretty much (I was going to call it the Patreon Edition beforehand).
And it's for those who want to support the game, but would prefer to pay from itch.
For now, yes.
It pretty much skips the intermission periods, and continues on with the story without any interruptions.
I intend to expand upon the Exclusive Edition, with extra content in the future (where I'll likely then raise the price).
And thank you, MentalMan.
Have a good one.
