One of the reviews in the store page states that what is being sold at the moment is "actually only the first episode in series". Can someone confirm this? Is this a full game? Is the current price for the full game, or just the first episode? If it's for the full game, and it is actually an episodic game, when are the next episodes due?

I haven't searched that much, mind you, but from the official webpage and the scant articles dedicated to the game, it would seem like it's not episodic.

However, there's nothing to indicate that it's definitely not episodic; this being an indie endeavor, the ambiguity might be due to any possible continuation depending entirely on the sales of this first game/episode. This is all speculation, so until there's an official response, or a journalist gets the info out, there's no way to know.

If you're still on the verge, let me tell you, without spoiling anything, that it could easily fit the episodic mode.

I stumbled over the same review having the same question. IN the steam forum (where else) could I find an official answer from the devs:

Correct - the game is a complete story - but we've designed the game so that we can tell more stories about these characters & this world in the future (so the decisions you make can carry on as well) - hope you enjoy!

In addition to this it seems as if the save files are stored with names "Episode1 Chapter X". So at the moment it is a complete game with the option of releasing additional episodes which would continue the story.

I can understand that on touchpads the QTEs are the main way to enjoy the game, but on pc it has deserved the game.
So, before a next episode, if there is, I hope a patch which will remove the QTEs on pc version.
You hope for a story (even an History game!), and it's a reflex game :/ At the 2nd QTE I stopped playing.
