Hello, Namenotrecognised!
I hope you're fine. Thank you for taking your time for writing and for your detailed explanation and really sorry for the inconvenience and confusion it may caused. Nothing is further from our intention in this matter.
Game is not a demo. But episode02 is not yet completed. We're releasing new updates regularly with new content, so that is the reason you can see different versions of the game. Latest one is episode02 v.2.18.
Episode02 does not include episode01 at the moment.
We had a non solved problem with itch.io payments so we have to work with our gumroad from now.
Please, let me answer your questions one by one:
In our patreon we have 14 different levels: (very briefly)
-Baby ninja, $1, for support and get updates and demos;
-Kid ninja, $3, basically for downloading games: episode1 and episode2 (this one up to version 2.14 at the moment); and some albums;
-Cat ninja, $5, for episode2, 2.15 version, for now;
-Snake, $10, for episode2, 2.17;
-Eagle, $14, for the latest version of episode2, which is 2.18 for now;
-Wolf, $19, for 1 day early access and extra content;
-Bear, $29, for 2 days early access, normal walktrhoughs, etc;
-Tiger, $39, for 3 days "", walktrhoughs for experts, etc;
-Shark, $49, for 4 days "", easter eggs, etc;
-Raptor, $59, secret scenes:
-Thunder, $99, extra content, Bonus scenes and customized content;
-Pegasus, $129, Deleted Scenes, more extra and customized content;
-Master, $199, Customized mini scene that will appear in the game;
-Monster, $299, Customized full scene;
Gumroad codes:
We use Gumroad since, we can't use MEGA and Patreon only allow us to upload games up to 2GB while our games are over 8GB. Codes are there to get a 100% discount when you proceed with a download so that you are not paying twice.

I hope everything is clearer now. I would like to appreciate your comment. I will pass it to the person in charge in order to improve our tier level section and offer information so that it can be better and more understandable. Thanks again! :)
Cheers,
Artlekin.
