Evaluation
Blues and Bullets was designed as a five-episode episodic series. Episode 1 launched on July 22, 2015, and Episode 2 shipped on March 10, 2016. The store description explicitly states that the full game consists of five episodes. On May 11, 2016, the developer posted a message thanking fans for their patience and promising news on Episode 3 "in the next weeks." That post is the last official communication from A Crowd of Monsters on record. No Episode 3 — or any subsequent episode — was ever released, and no explanation for the cancellation or hiatus has ever been provided. The game has been in commercial limbo since mid-2016: the two released episodes remain purchasable, but three of the five promised episodes were never delivered, and the developer has not communicated with players in over a decade.
Evidence
Developer's final post thanks fans for patience and promises 'some news on Episode 3' in the next weeks. This is the last official communication from the developer.
Episode 2: Shaking the Hive released for PC — the last episode ever shipped.

About this game
Eliot Ness, the former leader of the legendary Untouchables, wished only to spend the rest of his days working in his diner, not dwelling too much on the cesspit of corruption his city, Santa Esperanza, had degenerated into.
But things rarely go as planned.
When children suddenly start to disappear and the police just simply a blind eye, Eliot decides to take the law into his own hands, track down the culprit and bring him to justice by any means necessary, even if he has to abandon his dreams of a peaceful life and again get embroiled in shootouts with the usual array of assassins and hoodlums.
Helped by various characters from some unexpected places, the player must guide Eliot through the increasingly morbid and decadent scenarios searching for clues to solve the cases in the five episodes of this season's Blues and Bullets.
