Given how big the file size is compared to the older ones, I was expecting way more, sorry I might be assuming too much and my intention is not to diminish the work done by everyone involved in this project, but this seems like a very weird and concerning turn for the project... I just hope everything is alright
i think the creator experienced burnout when they were working on the new update.
i believe the ending means they'll try working on a new project and maybe (just maybe) they'll return to this some day.
it's a bit disappointing considering the last update had a much more conclusiveish ending. though this is most likely the right choice for the dev to take some time off and focus on something else.
