Evaluation
Machine Learning: Episode I launched on September 10, 2016 as an explicitly episodic VR puzzle game — the store description closes with "More to come in the next episodes...", making clear the developer intended to release follow-up episodes. The game received two updates shortly after launch: a bug fix patch on September 12, 2016, and a more substantial engine upgrade on December 22, 2016 that improved graphics and adjusted the final level. That December 22, 2016 post was the last time the developer communicated anything publicly. No Episode II or subsequent episode has ever been announced or released. Given that the original promise of future episodes has never been fulfilled and the developer has been completely silent since December 22, 2016 — a span of nearly a decade — it is highly uncertain whether any additional content will ever arrive. The game appears to have been quietly abandoned, though the store page still carries the original promise of more episodes.
Evidence
Last developer communication: engine upgrade to Unreal Engine 4.14 and difficulty adjustment to the final level. No mention of future episodes or content roadmap.
Store description states 'More to come in the next episodes...', indicating planned follow-up episodes were part of the original release concept.
