Evaluation
Bloodworks is a free-to-play top-down survival game developed solo by Engin Mercan, released on January 1, 2018. In the two weeks following launch, the developer shipped two small feature updates — Steam Workshop mod support on January 3, 2018 and a high score system on January 13, 2018 — then went completely silent. There have been no developer posts of any kind since January 13, 2018, now over eight years ago. While the store description contains the phrase "more will be added in future updates," this language predates and was not reaffirmed after that final January 2018 patch. There is no roadmap, no announced DLC, no unreleased content listings, and no subsequent developer communication to suggest ongoing work. The game appears to have been a solo hobby project that received a couple of post-launch patches shortly after release and has since been left in its completed state.
Evidence
High score system added. This is the last recorded developer communication — no posts of any kind have appeared since this date.
Developer launched Bloodworks as a solo hobby project, describing it as a free indie title they had been working on for a while.
