Evaluation
Despair is a small indie horror game that released on May 12, 2015. It is a self-contained experience — the player explores subway tunnels, collects notes, and uncovers a mystery with a defined (if ambiguous) ending. The store description describes a complete, finite gameplay loop with no mention of additional content, DLC, updates, or ongoing development. The developer has never posted any meaningful updates, announcements, or communications through Steam news. There are no DLC listings, no season passes, and no roadmap of any kind. The game launched as a finished product and has received no post-launch content. It is complete as shipped.
