Evaluation

Journal released on February 17, 2014 as a self-contained narrative adventure game. The store description presents it as a complete, singular experience with no mention of DLC, expansions, updates, or any form of ongoing content. There are no DLC listings, no developer news posts about future content or updates, and no indication of any post-launch content ever having been planned or delivered. The game was clearly designed and shipped as a finished product, and the developer has made no communications suggesting otherwise.
