Evaluation
Octarina launched on June 24, 2021 as a free-to-play physics-based puzzle platformer. The store description presents the game as a complete experience with a main storyline and two additional game modes ("Checkpoint Race" and "The Floor is Lava"). The only post-launch developer communication was a bug fix patch on July 19, 2021 (Patch 1.0.4). There have been no developer posts, announcements, roadmaps, or any other communications since July 2021. No DLC has been listed, and nothing in the store description or developer communications suggests future content is planned. The game appears to have launched as a finished product and received a single maintenance patch shortly after release, with no further developer activity in the nearly five years since.
Evidence
Store description presents a complete game with a main storyline and two additional game modes, with no mention of planned future content or updates.
Patch 1.0.4 fixed a white screen issue on low quality settings. This is the last and only developer communication since launch.

About this game
Octarina is a physics-based 3D puzzle platformer featuring a trapped little octopus who must find a way out and escape out of a sushi factory site.
You play as an adorable little octopus, which is trapped inside an aquarium for its whole life. Not as a pet, but rather as a sushi ingredient. Escape your captivity and find a way out before it's too late! Use the sticky abilities of Octarina to jump, climb and cause mayhem in the factory. Discover your way to regain freedom!
You'll have to find a way to escape your current situation. Octarina has the ability to stick to its environment and objects. You explore the factory and try to open up new ways. To do that you climb up walls, push buttons and throw around various things to work your way through the factory to escape. There are many dangers but also secrets in the level which will challenge your finesse.
Additionally to its main storyline, Octarina contains two other challenging gamemodes so far. Firstly, in the “Checkpoint Race” gamemode the octopus has to navigate through the factory and reach different checkpoints within a certain timeframe.
The second gamemode is “The Floor is Lava”. Obviously you are not allowed to touch or fall into the hot lava. There is a specific way through the level. Try to be the fastest.
