I understand your points, however you have not considered revisiting the game knowing the issues and improving it before uploading for players to see your ability. I rate based on what I play not the behind the scenes issues, I tried rpg maker its not easy that I know. I seen a lot of similar rpg maker games and this one is very unpolished, rushed with a lot of stuff missing to improve it. I would have given 1-3 stars based on art and interest if you animated the little sprites to do the stuff in each scene a little instead of just having them stand still -_-
I rated it based on the entertainment I got from playing same with all of them I give 1-2 for enjoyment 1-4 for art, animation, assets, ect and 1-4 for story, plot, mechanics and overall design. I did not find any entertainment in this game and was disappointed in the lack of exploration, mechanics, personalized options/choices, no animations or art, ect. 1/5 thanks to itchio is fair maybe 0 is a little over critical and harsh though only a little, if they had a out of 10 I may have given 2/10 and suggested you put work into a completed update.
