Covert Syndrome

Covert Syndrome is a free-to-play VR co-op shooter that the developer, Offworld Industries, explicitly describes as a "prototyping project" released to the community. The store description frames the game as a self-contained experience: 6 combat zones, a firing range, a lobby with leaderboards, and a single free OST DLC released on May 25, 2017. All developer activity was concentrated in a narrow window around launch. The studio posted a series of feature patches and improvements from March through July 2017, with the last known update being v498 on July 13, 2017. There have been no developer posts, patches, or announcements of any kind since that date. The single DLC (the original soundtrack) shipped on May 25, 2017 and is the only listed DLC — with no unreleased items on the store. The developer has never announced additional content, a roadmap, or future updates. The prototyping framing in the store description strongly implies the game was released as a finished, bounded experience rather than a platform for ongoing content. With nearly nine years of silence since the last update (July 13, 2017), this game is clearly complete as originally shipped.
