I am torn on this game....

On the one hand it is a good AVN with believable characters, game world and story, on the other hand it so blatantly has within the game a screen showing extra scenes you only get if you pledge to Patron, also on itch, it proudly points out that you can buy the first 6 episodes, but the next 3 episodes, although being finished, are only available on Patreon!

Surely developers like this (and many are), must know it frustrates normal gamers, who don't live and breath these AVNs and just tries to find the occasion good one to waste some time on...

And for those waiting, it's because currently at the end of Chapter 6 it wants to send you to Patreon, and Steam doesn't allow that, which is why on Steam this is called a "demo", but on Itch it's listed as a game. So play the 6 chapters for free, and then probably play the next 3/4 chapters for $15+!

Wrong. Love-Joint don't charge for their games. All their games are available for free once released. The patron is to support them.

The demo is available and includes the first 10 episodes of the game! The full version of Shale Hill Secrets for Steam should be arriving soon, so stay tuned!
