I genuinely can't tell whether this is clever marketing or not. Playing up the "smol indie ragtag devs that have no idea what we're doing" seems a little too likely to me. Something feels wrong if you know what I mean.
The game is extremely well made for an early access game release. It has fewer issues than Baldurs Gate 3 at commercial release and that was a famously pretty good and well polished commercial release.
What I mean is that I think they're full of shit. Professionals put out things with far more bugs and farrrrr more jank than this all the time.
I think the whole "we have no idea what we're doing" thing is marketing. Cashing in on the hate of major studios releasing buggy shit all the time by pretending that even complete and total idiots can put out work that isn't busted.
I really didn't walk away from the game my first handful of hours thinking it was more polished than BG3 on release. I had to bail from our MP game because my inventory was rapidly filling with undroppable self replicating meat lmao
Ahh well I think that's an outlier? Not sure really i have heard only people talk about how shockingly solid it is for early access.
Oh, I'm sure we were in the minority, I just thought it was amusing enough to bring up. My group did experience quite a few bugs but not much I would call major.
