Evaluation
Monster X Monster entered Steam Early Access on May 17, 2019. In the weeks following launch, the solo developer (VanGame) posted updates frequently — roughly every few days — adding new content like bosses, items, cards, events, and a PvP mode. However, on July 10, 2019, the developer acknowledged they had taken a day job to fund the project and warned that updates would be less frequent, while stating "I am not giving up this game." That post was the last communication from the developer on record.
The game has been in Early Access since May 2019 with no 1.0 release announced. The store description explicitly says the listed features are "so far, will be more in the future," signaling that the game was always intended to receive additional content before completion. However, no updates, announcements, patch notes, or developer communications of any kind have appeared since July 10, 2019 — a period of nearly seven years. The promised ongoing development has not materialized in any visible way, and the game remains unfinished with no stated completion timeline.
Evidence
Developer acknowledges taking a day job and posting infrequently, but explicitly states 'I am not giving up this game' and commits to future updates. This is the last recorded communication from the developer.
Store description labels current features as 'so far, will be more in the future,' indicating the game was designed to receive additional content before reaching a finished state.

The game is mainly inspired by Darkest Dungeon and Slay the spire.
