Evaluation
Misericorde: Volume One is, as the title and store description make explicit, the first installment in a planned series of mystery visual novels. The developer shipped the game on March 23, 2023 and followed up with two small bug-fix patches in early April 2023. The final patch post, published April 20, 2023, closes with the line "Onward to Volume 2...!" — a clear signal that the next volume is the developer's stated next step.
However, that April 20, 2023 post is also the last time the developer has communicated publicly about the game in any form. As of June 22, 2026 — more than three years later — there have been no development updates, no announcements about Volume 2's progress or release window, and no posts of any kind from the studio. The developer appears to be a solo creator (the patch notes use first-person singular throughout), which may help explain an extended quiet period, but the absence of any communication since April 2023 makes it impossible to confirm that Volume 2 is still being actively developed or when it might arrive.
Evidence
Final patch post (v1.11) closes with 'Onward to Volume 2...!' — the developer's last public communication, signaling they intended to move on to producing the next installment.
Last developer communication of any kind. No posts, updates, or announcements have followed in the period from April 20, 2023 through June 22, 2026.

About this game
The year is 1482.
The age of exploration and enlightenment is on the distant horizon and the Renaissance is in full swing across Europe; but in England, the War of the Roses is in its final throes. Change is coming, but in one little convent in the north of the kingdom, everyone has seemed blissfully unaware.
Everyone except Sister Catherine, a beloved nun and firebrand thinker who has just been murdered. In an isolated monastery with an already mysterious reputation, any one of the Sisters could be the killer—and Mother Superior is as stumped as anyone else. That's where you come in.
As an Anchoress, you took an oath to never leave your cell; to devote yourself entirely to God and provide spiritual support to all who came to your door. But as the only Sister who couldn't possibly have committed the crime, you have a new mission: solve the case, before the bishop shutters the convent and the killer goes unpunished.
The Superior hasn't told everyone why you've suddenly joined the regular congregation, but something tells you most of these women know exactly what's going on. Who can you trust? Who is being honest, and who has their guard up—and why? Is the convent really haunted? Who killed Sister Catherine? And worst of all... are you next?
