Evaluation

Mail Time launched on April 27, 2023 and received a handful of post-launch patches addressing bugs and quality-of-life issues. In the July 1, 2023 patch post (NEWS-6), developer Kela van der Deijl explicitly stated that development was not finished, citing an in-progress map feature and plans for "additional content" in future updates. That post is the last official communication from the developer on record. As of June 23, 2026 — nearly three years later — no map feature has been announced as shipped, no content updates have been released, and the developer has posted nothing further. The promised content remains undelivered and unaddressed, with no explanation provided for the extended silence.
Evidence
