Evaluation

*a new life.* is a self-contained narrative visual novel released on May 15, 2020 by solo developer Angela He. The store description clearly defines the game's scope: 5 endings, 40–90 minutes of playtime, original art, story, and soundtrack. This is the complete, intentional package the developer shipped. The only DLC — a Fan Pack — was released simultaneously on launch day, indicating it was a cosmetic/bonus bundle rather than a content extension. There have been no developer announcements of additional content, no roadmap, no season pass, and no unreleased DLC on the store. The game launched as a finished product and shows every indication of remaining so.
Evidence
Store description explicitly defines the game's full scope: 5 endings, 40–90 minutes of playtime, original art, story, and soundtrack — a clearly bounded, complete experience.
