Dark Bestiary

Dark Bestiary launched into Early Access in 2019 and graduated to its full 1.0 release on July 12, 2020. At launch, the developer (a solo developer, Ivan Karlashenko) posted a note explaining that the game had reached everything he originally envisioned, while also stating he intended to continue supporting and improving it. Following the 1.0 release, the developer shipped a major free update in January 2021 (v1.1.0), which added an entirely new "Dreams" game mode with new equipment, mechanics, and a sanity system. A further feature patch (v1.1.1) arrived in October 2021, delivering a full skill system rework and several new skills. After October 16, 2021, no further developer communications, patches, or content have been recorded across the 23 posts scanned. That's a silence of over four and a half years since the last update. The developer had previously been transparent about reduced capacity (noting in December 2019 that he had taken a day job and could only work on the game in spare hours), which is consistent with a solo developer quietly concluding support rather than making a formal announcement. With no unreleased DLC, no outstanding roadmap commitments, and no developer activity since October 2021, the game is best understood as a complete, finished product.
