Evaluation
Broken Dreams launched on February 19, 2016 as a complete, self-contained casual platformer — an expanded Steam version of an original flash game. The developer shipped one post-launch update on April 10, 2016 adding Mac and Linux support. After that, the news posts from the publisher (New Reality Games) shifted entirely to announcing and promoting other titles in their catalog: a Greenlight campaign for "So Many Cubes" (August 2016), the release of "Atonement 2: Ruptured by Despair" (October 2016), and the launch of "State of Anarchy: Master of Mayhem" (March 2017). None of these posts reference any new content, updates, or future plans for Broken Dreams itself. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmap announcements, and no developer statements indicating further development. The last communication touching Broken Dreams directly was the Mac/Linux patch on April 10, 2016. The game launched as a finished product and received a single platform expansion shortly after; all indications point to development having concluded at that point.
