Evaluation

Kaigrad is a free-to-play dark fantasy visual novel that launched into Early Access on May 26, 2021. The store description explicitly states the developer is planning at least two more DLCs beyond the base game's three story branches. One of these, titled "Кайград. Оборванные нити" (Kaigrad: Torn Threads), is listed on the Steam store as unreleased with no announced release date. The developer's last public communication was on October 22, 2021 — a hotfix post that followed a bug fix update from the day before. In the October 21 post, the developer acknowledged they had already gone three months without an update and stated they were actively working on the coming DLC. Despite that reassurance, no further updates, patch notes, or announcements have been published since October 22, 2021. The promised DLC remains unshipped. The game is still in Early Access, meaning the developer has not declared the game complete or released a 1.0 version. With no developer communication since October 22, 2021, it is unclear whether development is still ongoing or has been quietly abandoned.
Evidence
Developer acknowledged a 3-month silence, confirmed they are still working on Kaigrad, and stated DLC is coming soon. Added DLC support infrastructure to the game engine.

About this game



What if there was no Sun? If you had to fight not only with others, but with the universe itself for the crumbs of light? The darkness is near. In such circumstances, a person's values are overturned. People stop being people. There was only a slim chance to fix it. But the path is thorny. And only you can choose the road!



"Kaigrad" is a non-linear visual novel in the genre of dark fantasy. The action takes place in the world of "Kaigrad", where Light comes only from people, animals and all living things. He is on the verge of total darkness. People are distraught and seize every opportunity to prolong their miserable existence, forgetting about principles and morals. You have to find out what happened here, who is to blame for this and try to fix it!

At the moment, the game has three main branches of passage, each of which has several endings. We are planning at least two more DLCs, which will have no less variability than the main part of the game.



A story that will stay in your memory for a long time
The oppressive atmosphere of a dying world
Non-linearity is not in words, but in deeds
Characters you don't want to end a conversation with
A love line that leaves a pleasant aftertaste
Great soundtracks
As well as unanswered questions and... answers without questions.
