Evaluation
Dissolving is a kinetic visual novel (no choices, fixed narrative) that launched on June 14, 2019. The store description makes clear the game is a self-contained package: it describes two scenarios, both of which are already part of the game, with all content readable in about an hour. The only DLC is a soundtrack support pack released on the same day as the game — a common pattern for visual novels where the OST is offered as optional paid support rather than additional story content.
The sole developer post since launch (December 14, 2021) is an announcement for a completely separate game, Into the Waves. In that post, Flying Whale reflects on the time since Dissolving's release and describes moving on to new projects. There is no mention of planned updates, additional content, or further development for Dissolving itself.
The game launched as a complete, finished product and has received no post-launch content updates. Flying Whale has communicated nothing to suggest additional content is planned for Dissolving.

About this game
Sometimes things do not end when you die. Have you ever thought that some... people may live on the Internet? One girl didn't, for sure. She went to visit her ex, and eventually found herself tangled in horrifying events far larger than her life.
Dissolving is an atmospheric horror kinetic visual novel about a girl that gets caught up in some sort of an Internet cult. While there are no choices, there is a second, larger scenario that can be unlocked during one part of the main story. Good luck finding it and some additional story information referenced in the game.
