Helmetman
Early access since Mar 2023
Enjoy a rouge-like deckbuilding card game and story at once! Helmetman, who was just an ordinary delivery guy, became a hero out of vengeance. He is shockingly ugly, but don’t worry, since he always has his helmet on! You may be able to start a relationship... but... that probably won’t happen...

Evaluation
Helmetman entered Steam Early Access on March 12, 2023. Five days after launch, the developer published a detailed roadmap (March 17, 2023) outlining substantial planned additions: a new playable character named Momo with her own story, new fields and enemies, team battle modes, additional challenges and quests, and further cutscenes and hero storylines. The developer explicitly noted that prices may increase with major updates or the official release, indicating a 1.0 launch is still planned.
In the weeks that followed, the team was active — shipping feature patches and bug fixes regularly through late March and April 2023. On April 16, 2023, the developer confirmed they were actively working on the new character, though warned responses to other issues might be slower as a result. The last recorded update of any kind was a bug fix post on May 12, 2023.
Since May 12, 2023, there have been no further announcements, patch notes, or developer communications. The promised roadmap content — most notably the Momo character and new story content — has not been publicly delivered. With over three years of silence since the last post and a still-open Early Access status, it is impossible to determine whether the planned content is still being developed or if the project has quietly stalled.
