Evaluation
A Mortician's Tale launched on October 18, 2017 as a deliberately short, self-contained experience — the store description explicitly states it "takes about 1 hour to play" and describes it as "a short, but deeply meaningful experience." The game was designed and sold as a complete, finished product from day one, with no post-launch content cycle ever established. The only DLC is the original soundtrack, which released alongside the game on October 18, 2017. The developer's last substantive communication was an anniversary post on October 18, 2018, which included minor bug fixes and an achievement correction — no future content was hinted at or announced. There have been no developer posts of any kind since October 2018. This game shipped as a complete, finished product and has received no content additions beyond that soundtrack.
Evidence
Store description explicitly markets the game as a short (~1 hour) self-contained story experience, with no mention of additional content, updates, or expansions.
The only DLC is the original soundtrack, released on the same day as the game. No additional DLC has ever been listed.

About this game
A Mortician's Tale takes about 1 hour to play. It's a short, but deeply meaningful experience.
A Mortician's Tale is a story-driven death positive video game where you play as a mortician tasked with running a funeral home. Take on the role of recent funeral direction graduate Charlie as she learns the ropes of the business and industry. Prepare the bodies of the deceased (via embalming or cremation), attend their funerals and listen to their loved ones' stories, and interact with Charlie's coworkers, clients, and bosses.
A Mortician's Tale is an informative, honest, and sometimes humorous look at the current state of and the future of the western death industry.
