Evaluation

My Beautiful Paper Smile was developed chapter by chapter through Steam Early Access, launching with Chapters 1 and 2 on June 19, 2020, followed by Chapter 3 on October 27, 2020, and finally Chapter 4 on October 14, 2021 — at which point the game officially left Early Access and reached its full 1.0 release. The October 14, 2021 launch post explicitly describes Chapter 4 as concluding the story, and the September 17, 2021 preview post confirms the developer described it as "the fourth and final chapter." The developer also noted in that preview post that they had already begun researching new game ideas for after My Beautiful Paper Smile was "fully launched," indicating no further content was planned for this title. There is no DLC listed, no roadmap for post-launch content, and no developer communications since the full launch suggesting additional content. The game shipped as a complete four-chapter story and has been content-complete since its 1.0 release date.
Evidence
Developer announces Chapter 4 release and exit from Early Access, describing it as the conclusion of the story. Post states 'you can play all four chapters right now.'
