That's a fair point about the ending, and a great disappointment in yet another Dev.
I think it is really, really hard to make a video game. I am sure that whatever the original plot was, it may have drifted or expanded. So many games try to add more and do more as a game gets popular. Even without all of that extra, I know I couldn't start writing a story and expect it to remain the same over 2 years of growth, progress, and creation.
Back when I used to support Leap of Faith here on Patreon the Dev insisted that LoF was only going to be eight chapters. Has this changed? I'm not real happy that Steam is selling incomplete games now, especially as they can't guarantee that the game will be finished, or tell upfront exactly how much it will cost.
They said in 2020 that: "That is correct. 8 Chapters, with a possible reunion chapter somewhere down the road. Even though I would have loved to make this into a longer journey, it would be hard to expand on the current script. And after all it is just my introduction to the world of VNs, my master's degree if you like, so that I can jump into my next project with a whole lot more experience and knowledge." The problem is that we seem to be far away from an ending, so it either has to be rushed, extended, or broken up into another game like many other Visual Novel developers have done.
Paying for a replay gallery is kinda meh not happy about, But I like being able to get a guide/walkthrough/cheat whatever. Not gonna lie I use them a lot for time saving since I don't get to play as much as I'd like due to RL. Whether its an unofficial or official have some form of aid is something I look at when I am considering buying it. If throwing a little cash to the developer gets me an official guide and helps them I'm all for it. Lol I'd have pulled my hair out trying to get all the secret renders in Being a DIK if it wasn't for the official guide DLC.
That's fair.
