I can understand downloading and immediate access to scenes being Patreon exclusive, but locking something as basic as saving behind a paywall seems pretty extreme. Forcing people to go through the intro every single time the game gets updated doesn't really seem fair, even with text skipping.

Hi Cpt_Obvious1994,
I understand it's something frustrating to deal with but we are still in development and the demo is available as a free product. We are currently focused on creating content and other higher development priorities. Future updates may break these save slots and as a small dev team we are not, at this time, able to handle bugs to such a degree.

You can save the game. There is a save button in the main textbox UI. The commentor was asking to export saves.
It's not unfair for game developers to charge money for their games, regardless of what functionality they do or do not allow. Game development is a lot of work and requires the devs to hire artists and pay for assets they can't make themselves. Charging money for our game is way to recoup the costs we've spent to put our vision into the world.
I hope that explains why we have made the choices that we did.
