Evaluation
Kore is a short, free-to-play stealth game (15–30 minutes) created by students at the University of Central Florida's FIEA game development program over an 8-month period. The store description explicitly describes it as a complete, self-contained experience: a fully voice-acted narrative with an animated ending cutscene. It launched on January 14, 2021, received two minor bug-fix patches on launch day, and then a celebratory post on February 19, 2021 marking 20,000 downloads — which the developer described as a "wonderful send off for this project." That language confirms the game was always intended as a finished student project with no ongoing development. There is no DLC, no roadmap, no post-launch content of any kind, and no further developer communication after February 2021.

About this game
Kore follows Persephone's journey into the Underworld. She seeks to find Hades and escape her controlling mother Demeter. This won't be an easy journey however, as Lost Souls wander the cities of the Underworld, and Demeter's influence has begun spreading even down in Hades realm. Sneak your way through the New Orleans inspired Underworld, avoiding Lost Souls, as you discover how to run from a Goddess and become one yourself!
Kore is a 3rd-person stealth game focusing on navigating its dark world while avoiding the hostile souls living there. Demeter's eyes also peer into the underworld, forcing you to possess these eyes and use them to clear your path forward.
