Evaluation

House of Evil launched on December 20, 2017 and received a burst of post-launch patches and updates through early 2018. The developer shipped several feature updates (versions 1.1, 1.2, 1.4, and 1.5) and bug-fix patches through January 21, 2018, addressing optimization, localization, new content like monsters and a flashlight, and various bugs. On July 30, 2018, the developer teased a "global update" with plans to ship it within 40 days — however, no follow-up post or patch notes appear in the news history, and there have been no developer communications about House of Evil since that announcement. The two news posts from December 2020 and February 2021 are announcements for a separate game (EBOLA 2), not this title. The last meaningful activity on House of Evil dates to January 2018, with the teased global update never materializing. Given the absence of any unreleased DLC, no ongoing content commitments, and complete developer silence on this game since mid-2018, the game appears to have shipped as a finished product with its post-launch patching cycle now long concluded.
