Is it episodic or not?

Hi~!
On the game's website it's stated that the vn is episodic. So... are you currently selling it as a full version? Or are there going to be new episodes in the future?

I plan to write more episodes in the future. Each episode will be a full game just like this one. Basically this is the First Nexus, then I will make Second Nexus, etc.
There won't be too many! The story is already fully planned.

Thanks! Then it's safe to play the First Nexus as a full separated story, right? It won't end on a cliffhanger with many unanswered questions like an episode from an episodic game, yeah?

Actually, it does end in cliffhanger. Technically it's possible to guess all the mysteries, but the ending is left open for new games. Still, the stories within this first episode are resolved, it's just the general conflict that is not.

If you prefer to wait, that's fine!

If the story conflict is resolved, then it's absolutely fine by me. Thanks! Planning to buy the game and check it out - looks really cool!
Sorry for bothering you with so many questions, it's just sometimes it's really hard to guess whether a VN's story is a complete one or falls into a category of unfinished never-to-be-released ones. Especially when developers put episodic label on it.

Thanks for quick and informative answers!

The story is not fully resolved on this one. This first episode will give you all the hints to solve the mysteries, but it won't give you a full resolution immediately.
