Evaluation
1,000 Heads Among the Trees released on December 11, 2015 as a self-contained experience inspired by the developer's personal time spent with a brujo in Cachiche, Peru. The store description presents the game as a finished, feature-complete product with no indication of planned expansions, DLC, or ongoing content development. There are no developer news posts of any substance — the two posts on record contain no meaningful update information. There is no DLC listed, no roadmap, and no post-launch update activity of any kind. The game appears to have launched as a complete, standalone work and has remained unchanged since its release date.
Evidence

About this game
Visit a quiet town in the Peruvian desert at night searching for spirits and taking photos, then sharing these pictures with locals who free-associate based on them. This game is based on time I spent with a brujo in the desert suburb of Cachiche, a town that was founded by witches during the Peruvian Inquisition. Here descendants of witches still live and continue to practice traditional healing and fortune-telling.
