Evaluation
Black Rose launched on March 15, 2016 as a free-to-play, self-contained first-person survival horror game. The store description presents a complete, standalone experience — a single narrative scenario following a character named Linda through an abandoned funeral home. There is no mention of planned expansions, DLC, seasonal content, or any post-launch content roadmap. The only developer communication after launch was a bug acknowledgment post on March 30, 2016, addressing a technical issue some players encountered. There have been no further posts, announcements, or updates from Sir Bedlam Productions since that date. The game has no DLC listings of any kind. Given that Black Rose was released as a compact, narrative-complete horror experience with no post-launch content structure, it was complete at launch. The brief burst of bug-fix activity in March 2016 is consistent with a small developer tidying up a shipped product, not building toward future content.

About this game
Black Rose is a first-person survival horror game in which you assume the role of Linda, an average girl who heard rumors about an old abandoned funeral home being haunted. No one knows what happened to many of the people who used to work there, but legend says they were murdered. By who? Linda wants to find this out for herself, so she goes to the secluded funeral home. But not long after entering, things go horribly wrong.
Your score will be based on 'Close Calls'. Close Calls are achieved by getting close to the enemy without letting them catch you. When your score starts increasing, the enemy is dangerously close. Try to get as many Close Calls as possible to bring up your score, but be aware that you should not let your Close Calls with the first enemy last for too long. This enemy is particularly volatile, and will quickly catch you if you are close for too long.
