Evaluation
Knee Deep is a three-act episodic swamp noir adventure that launched Act 1 on July 6, 2015, Act 2 in November 2015, and Act 3 — the final act — on March 7, 2016. The developer explicitly confirmed the game was complete in a July 6, 2016 anniversary post, stating "The game's done now, so there's no more waiting for the next act." All four DLC items (a premium art book/soundtrack bundle and three individual act soundtracks) have been released. The only post-launch content addition was a VR version that launched on November 8, 2016, followed by a minor Vive controller clarification patch on December 1, 2016. No further content has been announced or released since late 2016. The store description confirms all three acts are currently available.

Gaddis.
