Evaluation
Message Quest is a self-contained, short-form point-and-click adventure that launched on October 22, 2015 as a complete, finished product. The store description describes it as "a cute fantastic journey for one evening" lasting about an hour and a half — the developer clearly positioned it as a single, complete experience from the start.
Post-launch activity was limited to minor localization additions, small bug fixes, and a free soundtrack DLC in December 2015. The developer's own communications from 2016 onward confirm they had moved on to a new project called Avarange. By July 2016, they explicitly stated they were now focused on that next game. The sole item in the DLC list — the original soundtrack — has been released since December 7, 2015.
The iOS release in April 2018 was a port of the existing game to a new platform, not new content for the PC version. No expansions, updates adding content, or announcements of future content for Message Quest have ever been made. The developer has not posted any news since April 2018. The game launched as a complete package and has remained so.

About this game
Message Quest is a tiny stained-glass point-n-click adventure about laziness and her herald.
This is a fairy tale in the best tradition of works such as “The Hobbit” or “The Chronicles of Narnia”, inspired by the art of Studio Ghibli.
This is the story of a lazy herald called Feste. You may know heralds, the fellows who appear at the beginning of each journey, looking for the hero in an attempt to deliver that “call to adventure” thing, right before the interesting stuff starts to happen. That’s exactly the job our Feste must do. Find a hero, give him or her a call to adventure, and be done with it. No exploits, no saving the world. But all he wants to do is sleep and eat candy. You must become his conscience and lead him through the struggles and strange encounters of the Interworld Road.
A cute fantastic journey for one evening - the game lasts about an hour and a half, so you’ll get the full story in one session.
