Evaluation

Auf Abwegen is a small, self-contained narrative mini-puzzle-platformer developed as a one-man project. The store description describes a fixed scope: 2 scenarios, 3 levels, 10 achievements, and a Challenge Mode — no mention of additional content or ongoing development plans. The only post-launch developer communication was a single feature patch on May 29, 2019, roughly two months after the March 9, 2019 release, which reworked jump mechanics and fixed minor issues. Since that patch, there have been no further developer posts, announcements, or DLC listings of any kind. Given the game's clearly defined, small-scale scope at launch and the absence of any post-launch content commitments, the game launched as a complete, finished product. The May 2019 patch was a quality-of-life improvement, not the beginning of an ongoing content cycle.

About this game

//////////////////MANKIND INC.(CC) DIGITAL_TELEGRAM//////////////////



Gegi,
I dug a bit in the old web archives again and found something you might enjoy.

You're always complaining about your boredom on the night shifts in your little cell on the solar panel deck... The software I found could give you an interesting perspective on how life must have been down there back then - just give it a try.

If you have any difficulties, just call me!
Oh, and it will definitely be difficult, so please don't be frustrated ;)

love, Kia


P.S.: I also found a description of an ancient digital shop page - I'll attach it if you really want to spoil the surprise ;-)
