Evaluation
MHRD launched on January 5, 2017 as a self-contained hardware design puzzle game. The developer shipped two feature patches in the two weeks following launch — adding achievements on January 11, 2017 and Steam Trading Cards plus leaderboards on January 18, 2017 — then went silent. Both patches were polish and quality-of-life additions rather than new content. The game's store description describes a fixed set of over 20 hardware design specifications culminating in a complete CPU build, with no mention of expansions, seasons, or ongoing content. There are no DLC listings, no roadmaps, no announcements of future content, and no developer communications of any kind after January 18, 2017. The game was designed and launched as a complete, self-contained experience, and all evidence is consistent with that characterization.
Evidence
Second post-launch patch added Steam Trading Cards, NAND-count tracking, and leaderboards. This is the last recorded developer communication.
