Joana's Life
Released Sep 2016
In a peaceful part of the town, a series of deaths occur, seemingly random at first, but gruesome in their nature. One day, you find an object that doesn't belong in your house. An old, worn-out, stained mirror. You'll come to discover that the simple mirror isn't the only thing that is out of place.

Evaluation
Joana's Life launched on September 1, 2016 as a self-contained story-driven adventure game. The store description presents a complete, standalone experience with a defined narrative, puzzle gameplay, and multiple endings — no DLC, season passes, or post-launch content of any kind are listed or referenced. There are no DLC entries on the store.
The only developer news post on record (April 11, 2017) is entirely unrelated to Joana's Life — it is an announcement for a separate game called Sol Ni Koro, promoted via the same publisher's Steam channel. This post provides no information about any planned updates or additional content for Joana's Life.
With no post-launch content updates, no DLC, no roadmaps, and no developer statements indicating future development for this title, the game was released as a finished product and remains complete as shipped.

About this game
Synopsis
In a peaceful part of the town, a series of deaths occur, seemingly random at first, but gruesome in their nature. One day, you find an object that doesn't belong in your house. An old, worn-out, stained mirror. That is the very moment when you'll discover that the simple mirror isn't the only thing that is out of place.Explore the thriving streets of the small suburban area, search through the abandoned houses stained by gruesome past, and find out what haunts you through the silver pane of glass. As the game progresses and the more you approach the root of all horror, you'll realise that not everything is what it seems.
Peace together fragments of the past events, read between the lines, and look at things from a different perspective. All alone in the crowd, the cold grip of a confused and consuming rage will coarse through your veins.
Features:
- A detailed and AI populated game world.
- A Haunting game atmosphere and soundtrack.
- Make the most of the Mirror mechanic - some things are not what they seem at first glance.
- A Gripping story woven through the environment, puzzles and in-game events.
- Mystery style game-play. You must explore and search out clues and objects. The game will not hold you hand.
- Multiple choice endings.
