Evaluation
everybody's sad launched on February 5, 2019 as a self-contained VR experience. The only post-launch developer communication was a small patch on February 21, 2019 (version 1.1.1) that added snap rotation and fixed a handful of minor bugs. There have been no developer posts, content updates, DLC announcements, or roadmaps of any kind since then. The store description presents the game as a complete, finite experience with no indication of ongoing or planned additions. The game launched as a finished product and has received no post-launch content beyond that early maintenance patch.

About this game
everybody's sad is a a weird, therapeutic, kinetic VR experience about learning to balance self care and care for others. Use intuitive motion and pose-based controls to make sad, alive objects happy! But who will make you happy?
We wanted to provide players with an experimental VR experience that pushes the envelope of what VR games can be. By making players use their voices and bodies in new ways, we provide them with a more immersive experience in which they can discover the delicate balance between caring for others and themselves. Through this game, we wanted to emphasize the importance of balancing caring for others and caring for yourself, as well as innovating what games can do in VR.
