Evaluation
Depths of Fear :: Knossos launched on April 24, 2014 and received a series of post-launch patches throughout 2014 and into early 2015. The developer shipped four notable updates: 1.4.1 (August 14, 2014), 1.4.3 (October 8, 2014), 1.4.4 (October 30, 2014), and 1.4.5 (January 9, 2015). All of these were feature patches and bug fixes rather than major expansions or DLC. The last official developer communication was the 1.4.5 "Geras" update on January 9, 2015 — more than eleven years ago. No DLC was ever listed, no roadmap or future content was announced, and there has been no developer post of any kind since then. The game launched as a complete, self-contained roguelike experience, and the post-launch patches were refinements to the existing content rather than expansions. With no outstanding commitments, no unreleased DLC, and over a decade of silence from the developer, the game is a finished product.
Evidence
Update 1.4.5 'Geras' released — the last official developer post, containing bug fixes and minor content tweaks. No mention of future updates or planned content.
Update 1.4.1 delivered a large set of fixes, additions, and balance changes. Mentioned 'hooks to set the groundwork for upcoming ports' but no specific future content roadmap.
