Evaluation
Daily Chthonicle: Editor's Edition launched on September 30, 2016, following a period of active pre-release development throughout mid-to-late 2016. Crucially, on September 21, 2016 — just before the release date — the developer published a post reflecting on the conclusion of Daily Chthonicle's development after approximately 1.5 years of work, describing how the game had evolved and reached its final form. This is a direct statement that development was considered complete at launch.
After the game shipped, there were no further content updates, no DLC releases, and no post-launch roadmaps or announcements for this title. The developer's subsequent communications (in February 2020 and December 2020) focused entirely on a new, separate project called Corona Celestia — a space trading and exploration game with its own Kickstarter — with no mention of returning to Daily Chthonicle.
The game launched as a finished product and has received no post-launch content additions. It was complete on its release date of September 30, 2016.

About this game
This game lets you try on the role of a Supernatural Newspaper Agency boss and editor. The world it takes place in is a dark and haunted one, with ghosts, zombies, monsters and even shapeshifting murderers, pretending to be human after they have stolen their victims' bodies or infiltrated the humanity. It was inspired heavily by the works of H.P.Lovecraft and it builds on the atmosphere of uncertainty and noir of the 1940s.
Send your sextet of weathered journalists, detectives and occult specialists to investigate murder, affair, and horror in the Town.
Each time, the story will be different. Sometimes, a werewolf is shredding innocent (and less innocent) victims to pieces and it is your task to unmask the creature. Other times, it will be a body stealing alien from outer space, a mummy that some misfortunate archeologist has excavated and is now haunting them. Perhaps it will be Jack the Ripper, still mysteriously alive and lurking in the streets at night.
Or maybe there is a really bad big tentacled monster hidden in the cellar of the University?
It is for you to find out and entertain your readers while bravely standing up against ancient evil.
Are these done yet?
