Evaluation
King of the Couch: Zoovival launched on November 21, 2017. In the weeks following launch, the developer shipped a series of patches adding bug fixes, a chat system, and achievements. On December 20, 2017, they released a Christmas Update — the game's one and only named content update — which added a new character (Granny), a new class (Santa), and new weapons. That post represents the last developer communication of any kind. There have been no news posts, patches, announcements, or developer communications since December 20, 2017. The game has no unreleased DLC listed on the store, no roadmap, and no stated plans for future content. The developer made no explicit announcement that development was complete, but the silence since December 20, 2017 — now spanning over eight years — combined with the absence of any outstanding commitments strongly indicates the game shipped as a finished product and the Christmas Update was its final content drop.
Evidence
