It was really harsh but they also are not wrong, while it isn't your job it is your project regardless of if it is free or not there is a difference between even a quarterly post with an update for those that don't want to join your discord and what is going on now which makes it really sound and feel like a dead game. On top of that you are saying there is ok activity on discord which means you have the bulk of an update post already, updates saying hey here is the state of it this is why it has been quiet this is our outlook for the next 3-4 months is fine, yes you will get some groaners but it is being transparent it does help connect with many and it will help grow your community.
And trust me I get it that discord is much easier to communicate with your active community but remember it is a closed system and you wont get people wanting to join if all the public facing things look dead and abandoned.

Interesting game and a nice start, but I would say you might want to look into positioning some things better on future works or if you ever plan to mess around with this one again. Without the side information bar closed (not a huge problem since it really isn't needed for this game) several messages, notably in the cave, are cut off to the point you cannot do anything. It even cuts off the bar that shows that scrolling is an option.
