Evaluation

Ephemerid: A Musical Adventure launched on February 3, 2015 as a self-contained rock fairy tale experience. The developer released one piece of DLC — the original soundtrack — on February 11, 2015, followed by two small bug fix patches through March 30, 2015. There have been no developer communications of any kind since March 30, 2015, and the store description makes no mention of planned future content. The game was clearly designed and shipped as a complete, finished product with no post-launch content roadmap. All DLC has been released. The developer's last post was on March 30, 2015, and the game has been in a stable, complete state since then.

Evidence

Soundtrack DLC released, containing all in-game music plus bonus tracks. This was the only paid DLC released for the game.
