Evaluation
Hideout: Face Your Fears has been in Early Access since July 14, 2021. In the nearly five years since launch, the developer (Better in Red) has posted only one meaningful update — a patch on July 23, 2021, just nine days after release, which added an opening cinematic and fixed a range of bugs. Since then, there has been complete silence: no developer communications, no new content, no roadmap, and no announcements of any kind. The game's store description describes a contained stealth adventure with specific environments, enemies, and features, but does not outline any planned post-launch additions. With no developer activity since July 23, 2021, there is no evidence that this game is progressing toward a full release, though it remains listed for purchase on Steam as an Early Access title.
Evidence

About this game
Immerse yourself in this third person stealth adventure, set in a world devastated by war against an artificial intelligence that brought down society as we knew it. Play as May, a survivor living in a bunker in the mountains that must go on a quest to find medicine for her sickly brother, Jack. In her way, she will meet the robots designed by the AI to hunt down humanity, an assembly of war machines who will not hesitate to kill her on sight. Her only way to survive will be to stay in the shadows and remain undetected, using her environment as cover.
May has a tool that allows her to interact with various devices along the town: opening doors, powering generators, finding hidden information and crafting various objects that will help her along the way by distracting her enemies, revealing them or and even incapacitating them.
In this slow-paced adventure game, the bleak setting and narrative create a tense and oppressive atmosphere that enhances the experience. May’s vulnerability only adds to the feeling of helplessness against the war machines: if she is found, it’s GAME OVER. Will you help May to save her brother and find the secret hidden within this town?
