Evaluation

The Convenience Store launched on February 17, 2020 as a self-contained J-horror experience. The store description describes a short (~40 minute) walking simulator with puzzle elements and two endings — consistent with a complete, standalone product. Post-launch activity was limited to a small bug fix patch in February 2020 (adding a Korean translation and fixing minor bugs), and two subsequent news posts in May and November 2020 that were announcements for entirely separate games by the same developer. No DLC, expansions, roadmaps, or post-launch content of any kind have been announced or released for this game. The developer's attention shifted to new titles rather than continuing to develop this one. The game launched as a finished product and has remained so.

Evidence
