Evaluation

Above Snakes: Prologue is a free demo application for the full game, Above Snakes, which launched on May 25, 2023. The prologue was released on March 24, 2023, specifically to give players a taste of the first 2–3 hours of gameplay ahead of the full game's release. All developer news posts for this app relate to either promoting the prologue itself or building anticipation for the full game launch. The full game shipped on May 25, 2023 as announced, completing the purpose of this prologue. Developer communications for this app ceased after May 25, 2023, which is expected — there is nothing further for the developers to communicate about a free demo once the full product it was advertising has shipped. No DLC, ongoing updates, or future content plans have ever been communicated for the prologue itself. This app exists solely as an introduction to the full game and is functionally complete.
Evidence
Full game Above Snakes launched at 1.0, fulfilling the purpose of the prologue as a marketing/preview vehicle.

About this game

About the Prologue

In Above Snakes: Prologue you play the beginning of Above Snakes and get a feel for what the game plays like.

Survival with a Twist

In contrast to other survival games, the world is not generated procedurally. Instead, generate it yourself by placing isometric tile world pieces! Start your journey in the small lumberjack settlement of Hunter's Rest and begin crafting the world around you!

Create and Survive

Determine the landscape of this world inspired by the Wild West and dictate how it will unfold before you. You have the power to decide what’s next.

Craft, Cook, Hunt, and Fish

To help the people of Hunter's Rest, you can craft necessary tools from newly discovered resources. Advance in leather working, cloth weaving, and more professions to create the best survival supplies for your adventure!

Base Building

Invest your resources into your very own cabin and establish a base for defense and shelter.
