[2021] Interested in buying

I was told about this game by a co-worker while away from home, and I was surprised to have never heard about it. It somehow flew under my Indy radar. I found no real coverage by popular YouTubers, or even popular Indy, like IGP. It looks interesting, and I am impressed by the look of development. I have two questions.

How would you guys describe the community sentiment for the developers, or the community in general?

I have a group I usually play with, this work trip has left me able to buy 4 copies, would it be worth diving 4 copies deep into right now?

Thanks, guys!
