Evaluation
Fausts Alptraum is a free-to-play indie adventure/puzzle game that launched on April 8, 2017. The developer released two bug-fix patches in the days immediately following launch (April 9 and April 10, 2017) to address technical issues, and then shipped a single piece of additional content — an art book DLC — on February 13, 2018. Since that date, there have been no further developer communications, no new content releases, and no announcements of anything planned. The game has no season pass, no roadmap, and no unreleased DLC listed on the store. With only cosmetic/supplementary DLC released nearly eight years ago and no developer activity since, this game launched as a complete, self-contained experience and all associated content has been delivered.
Evidence
The Art of Fausts Alptraum art book DLC released — the only DLC for the game, and all listed DLC is now released.

About this game
Elisabeth Faust was attending her father's funeral.
Father had left her sorrow, depression, and an antiquated house.
She walked into the building and followed a black cat down to the basement.
Darkness suddenly claimed her sight.
A purple demon materialized out of nowhere, smiling like they were old friends.
The person she’d come to find was nowhere to be found.
There was a sweet fragrance in the house.
"I’ll show you the way out if you really want to leave."
Thus the crayon illustrated story began,
but she couldn’t tell if this was memory or imaginary.
“But if at any moment, you wax nostalgic about your time here,
or wish to preserve any instant for eternity, you lose. ”
Candlestick in hand, she now has to seize the faintest trail to escape from this nightmare.
