Evaluation

HOME launched on May 11, 2019 as a free-to-play walking simulator. The developer released one post-launch patch on July 20, 2019, which added minor quality-of-life improvements and a small amount of additional content (volume control, localization support, one extra interactable object). That patch also included a thank-you note to the community. Since July 20, 2019, there have been no further developer communications, announced content, roadmaps, or DLC listings of any kind. The game launched as a self-contained, complete experience with no promises of ongoing updates, and the single post-launch patch appears to have been the final update. With no outstanding commitments, no unreleased DLC, and no developer activity since July 2019, the game is complete as it stands.

Evidence

Developer released a post-launch patch adding localization, settings options, one additional interactable object, and bug fixes. The accompanying message thanked the community but made no mention of future updates or planned content. This is the last known developer communication.
