Evaluation
Forgotten, Not Lost is a short kinetic novel that launched on April 1, 2016. In the weeks following launch, the developer addressed player feedback with a couple of bug fixes (audio and UI corrections) and added achievements on April 11, 2016. A Russian translation was made available on April 15, 2016 with help from an external localization team. The last recorded developer communication was a bug fix on April 20, 2016. There is no DLC, no roadmap, no announced future content, and no further posts of any kind since April 2016. The store description presents the game as a complete, self-contained story. This game was designed and released as a finished product — a short narrative experience — and all post-launch activity was minor polish in the immediate aftermath of launch, not an ongoing content cycle.
