Dream

Dream launched out of Early Access on July 31, 2015, delivering the complete story with multiple endings, voice acting, collectibles, and localization. A series of bug-fix patches followed in the weeks after launch to address issues from the initial release. The most significant developer communication is a detailed post from June 24, 2017, in which HyperSloth's lead developer candidly explained what happened after launch. The studio lost its source code when the team dispersed, their publisher went bankrupt and failed to pay royalties, and the financial losses made it impossible to continue updating or porting the game. The post acknowledged hopes of securing funding to port Dream to Unreal Engine 4 with VR support and free DLC, but was clear that those plans depended on finding a publisher willing to fund the substantial cost (quoted at around £80,000). No such publisher was found. The June 2017 post is the last official developer communication on record. Since then — now nearly nine years ago — there have been no further updates, announcements, or developer activity. The only DLC ever released was the game's soundtrack, which shipped alongside the game on July 31, 2015. No unreleased DLC is listed on the store. In practical terms, Dream shipped as a complete, self-contained experience on July 31, 2015. The developer has not announced any future content, and the studio's own 2017 post made clear that further development is not feasible without outside funding that was never secured. The game is complete as it stands.
