Evaluation
Blood of the Werewolf launched on October 28, 2013 as a classic action-platformer. On May 9, 2014, the developer released version 2.0 — a free content update for existing players — as a thank-you to the PC community. This version 2.0 is reflected in the current store title ("Blood of the Werewolf (2.0)"), indicating it represents the current and complete form of the game. The developer's news activity since then consists entirely of sales/discount posts and an unrelated game announcement (Real Heroes: Firefighter HD on January 21, 2021). There have been no announcements of additional content, DLC, or future development for Blood of the Werewolf at any point. No DLC is listed. The game launched as a finished product and received one meaningful post-launch content update (version 2.0) before going fully dormant. It is a complete, self-contained game.
Evidence
Developer released version 2.0 as a free update to all existing PC players, adding new content as a thank-you to the community, and temporarily dropped the price to $0.99 for new players.
Store title includes '(2.0)', indicating the current version of the game is the finalized 2.0 release delivered in 2014.

"A Love Letter To The Action-Platform Genre. If you want an action-platform game with great gameplay, challenge and a story that is simple but enjoyable, Blood of the Werewolf is the game for you." "Selena responds with perfection to the button presses."
9/10
"This game propelled me back to those halcyon days when I started gaming, and games were extremely difficult yet ultimately all the more rewarding."
8.5/10
"Overall, Blood of the Werewolf is a great platformer. It provides a wonderful sense of atmosphere, the story is well written and well told, and the gameplay mechanics feel fantastic. You may destroy a keyboard or controller out of rage, but you’ll want to buy another to see this great game to the end. Fans of platformers, especially old-school platformers, should give this game a serious look."
8.4/10
"An excellent action-platformer that wonderfully combines challenging but fair gameplay with a colorful and vibrant art style. "
8/10
"Scientifically Proven has managed to create a piece worthy of its platforming predecessors, where gore blends with horror creating an atmosphere that will captivate you." Dying too often gets frustrating at times, but not that much as to make you want to ditch the game. The beautiful visuals along with the multitude of monsters will keep you company while journeying in an adventure like never before."
8/10
"Blood of the Werewolf is a beautiful platform game - A classic mold with a ...unique garment that will not make you regret your investment and still promises to steal many hours of your day." (translation)
8/10
"Beautiful, rhythmic, and well done"

Additional modes like speed run and score rush will test your reflexes and memory, with online leaderboards to keep track of yourself, and friends.
