Evaluation
Mind Snares: Alice's Journey is a self-contained hidden object adventure game published by Artifex Mundi that released on April 23, 2015. The store description presents it as a complete, standalone experience with a defined set of content: 38 locations, 22 mini-games, 19 hidden object scenes, and a full narrative arc. There is no DLC listed, no season pass, and no post-launch content updates referenced anywhere in the game's record.
Notably, all 10 of the developer news posts returned are entirely about other Artifex Mundi titles — specifically "Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love" and "My Brother Rabbit" — with no posts referencing Mind Snares: Alice's Journey at all after its release. This is consistent with the publisher's typical model for this genre: ship a complete, polished casual adventure game and move on to the next title.
The game launched as a finished product with no post-launch content cycle, no announced expansions, and no outstanding commitments of any kind. It has been over eleven years since release with no indication of further content ever having been planned.
Evidence
Store description presents a complete, self-contained game with a fixed, enumerated set of content: 38 locations, 22 mini-games, 19 hidden object scenes, and a full story. No mention of DLC, expansions, or future content.
All developer news posts from this publisher's Steam feed concern other titles (Irony Curtain, My Brother Rabbit) — none reference Mind Snares: Alice's Journey after its April 2015 release.

About this game
Mind Snares: Alice’s Journey is a mature adventure game that blends together elements of the surreal, psychological thriller, and horror genres.
Alice’s car breaks down and plunges into a river. The next thing she knows, she wakes up in a strange world made of her own memories, dreams and nightmares. Ruling over this bizarre dream land is the mysterious Shadow, who forces the protagonist to face her deepest fears.
In order to escape this ominous, psychedelic world, Alice needs to follow an enigmatic lifeline and locate four magical totems that will allow her to rebuild a bridge back to her own reality. But this proves to be no easy task. Alice must venture deep inside her own subconscious, to face motley characters embodying friendly as well as hostile parts of her own psyche.
Alice solves charades and puzzle that test her intellectual prowess. She must confront the ghosts from her past, suddenly made real by the Shadow’s insidious power.
Will our protagonist muster the strength to defeat her own demons? Or will the Shadow win?
The fate of Alice lies in your hands!
