Evaluation

Forgotten Places: Regained Castle launched on January 25, 2018 as a self-contained Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game. The store description presents a complete, finite experience — a specific story with a defined set of screens, hidden object scenes, mini-games, and puzzles. There is no mention of DLC, expansions, or ongoing content plans anywhere in the store listing. After launch, the developer posted two small updates: achievements support on February 10, 2018, and Mac OS X compatibility on March 1, 2018. Both were minor quality-of-life patches. There have been no developer communications of any kind since March 1, 2018 — over eight years ago. No DLC has ever been listed for the game, no roadmap was published, and no future content was ever announced. This game was clearly designed and shipped as a complete, standalone product. The genre (casual hidden object adventure) is traditionally released as a finished package, and nothing in the developer's communications suggests otherwise.
Evidence

About this game

When Jane was a child, she tragically lost her parents in an accident. It's now the early 20th century and Jane is a young woman trying to keep the past behind her. It's clearer than ever that her past will always be a part of her when she receives a letter from her guardian, Sir Charles Willmore, who lives in an ancient ancestral castle. Upon opening the envelope, she finds an empty sheet inside on which the message "You're next!" magically appears. Jane hurriedly gathers her belongings and heads to Sir Charles to ask for an explanation. Jane could never have anticipated what was waiting for her.
