Evaluation
Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock is a self-contained sci-fi adventure game that launched on February 17, 2015. The store description presents it as a complete, remastered version of a previously released title — the language references "newly remastered cinematics," "new and optimized puzzles," and "an extended storyline," all of which describe features included at launch rather than planned future additions. There are no DLC listings and no announcements of additional content. The developer's only post-launch communication was a patch on June 29, 2015 that added a bonus music track, minor tweaks, and bug fixes. There have been no developer communications of any kind since June 29, 2015. This game launched as a finished product, and all available evidence confirms it has remained complete with no further content ever announced or delivered beyond that early maintenance patch.
Evidence

About this game
Crash-landed on a desolate, alien planet, what should've been a routine work-for-hire job for Powell has become a deadly mission to save the merchant vessel Morningstar and her crew. With one man dead and the captain gravely injured, Powell is on his own to repair the ship and find a way to escape the strange gravity well of the empty planet they've landed on.
And if the situation weren't dire enough, the only signs of life on the planet are the remains of a much larger and better equipped ship and her crew, all dead, and not by natural means. What--or who--brought down these ships and is killing their crews? For what reason? And can Powell find a way off-planet before he shares the same fate?
