Evaluation
Nihilumbra launched on Steam on October 25, 2013 as a remastered version of the original mobile game, arriving as a complete, self-contained puzzle-adventure with all features included at launch (voice acting, HD textures, widescreen support, full soundtrack, and an unlockable Void Mode). The store description describes a finished product with no mention of planned updates, DLC, or future content.
Post-launch activity consisted entirely of bug fix patches (January 2014, December 2014, May 2015) addressing reported technical issues — no new content was ever added. By mid-2015, BeautiFun Games had shifted their focus to their next project, Megamagic, which launched in April 2016. From 2017 onward, the studio's communications have been exclusively about their subsequent game, Professor Lupo and his Horrible Pets, with no further mention of Nihilumbra development. The last news post touching on Nihilumbra in any substantive way was a bug fix in May 2015. The game has no DLC listings of any kind.
Nihilumbra launched as a complete package and has received no content additions since its 2013 release. The developer has long since moved on to other projects.
Evidence
Store description details a complete game with all content included at launch: five worlds, five color abilities, voice acting, HD textures, widescreen support, remastered soundtrack, art gallery, and unlockable Void Mode. No future content or DLC is mentioned.
Most recent developer communication mentions Nihilumbra only as a sale item while promoting their third game, Professor Lupo. No Nihilumbra development news of any kind.

About this game
Discover the beautiful world of Nihilumbra and join Born on his adventure to find himself whilst trying to escape from his inevitable curse.
Born was created from the absolute nothingness: The Void. But somehow he separates himself from the black emptiness and appears in the world. This is where his long odyssey begins, in which he will learn how to use the colors around him to gain powerful abilities and transform the world.
However, his experiences come at a high price. The Void must be one. It seeks to reclaim him and will never stop chasing him, destroying everything in its path along the way.
To survive, Born will have to condemn the earth he walks to its inevitable obliteration by The Void...
Advise: Nihilumbra has been designed in a way that everyone can enjoy its story, even without previous experience with puzzle games. However, players seeking for a challenge will find it on the second half of the game: the Void Mode.
