"By the Vine: Chapter One" isn't a game. It looks like an e-book dumped on Steam masquerading as a game, but it's not that either! This is an advert! This is just the "try before you buy" intro to some cringe fan-fiction, and the "author" expects you to pay money for the rest... imagine paying money for someone's high school anime club dropout fan-fiction. Ugh. This is never okay. Of course, the author never added any additional chapters to buy.. which is a good thing. This garbage e-book advertisement is written by Christian furries and is a toxic evangelism piece intended to inflict religious doctrine on gamers on Steam. It's my firm belief that religious dogma and political indoctrination has no place on Steam... this is harmful and is intended to prey on the weak minded. And to paraphrase King of the Hill... "This isn't making religion better, it's just making gaming worse". The e-book this is advertising was intended to follow a furry who burns his house down then suffers religious indoctrination. Yeah, ain't nobody gonna read that. As an advertisement for a visual novel, this has no notable gameplay. It's just clicking through badly written, cringey fan-fiction tryh…
