Evaluation

Adventures of Bertram Fiddle 2: A Bleaker Predicklement launched on August 24, 2017 as a complete point-and-click adventure game. Following launch, the developer (Rumpus) issued several bug-fix patches in August and September 2017 to address issues reported by players. On November 5, 2018, the developer shipped one final update adding a chapter select/save game system and additional bug fixes — the last official communication from the studio. No DLC was ever announced or listed, no roadmap or future content was promised, and the store description presents the game as a self-contained, fully featured experience with no mention of additional content. There have been no developer posts of any kind since November 5, 2018. The game launched as a complete product and all post-launch activity was limited to polish and quality-of-life improvements.
