Of Lies and Rain

Of Lies and Rain launched into Early Access on September 10, 2025, then graduated to its full 1.0 release on November 4, 2025. During the seven-week Early Access period, the developer (Castello Inc) shipped one update per week, addressing bugs, adding features like iron sights and projectile traces, and redesigning some game areas based on player feedback. The November 4 launch post from the developer is candid and significant: the studio explained that they are a five-person, self-funded team that worked without compensation for two years to finish the game. They explicitly stated that the game's survival — and the studio's survival — depends on whether sales revenue is sufficient to fund their next project. The tone of the post acknowledges the possibility that this could be the studio's final release if sales don't improve. The most recent developer communication, dated March 19, 2026, was a feature patch adding bHaptics support (100 unique haptic feedback events) — the most community-requested feature. This shows the studio was still supporting the game as of March 2026, roughly four months after launch. However, there is no announced roadmap, no unreleased DLC, no Season Pass, and no stated plans for future content beyond maintenance. The store description describes a complete, self-contained story-driven VR shooter. The developer's own launch post frames the game as a finished work, with the studio's uncertain future making further content development unlikely but not explicitly ruled out. The bHaptics patch is a feature addition but falls short of indicating a new content campaign. Given the silence since March 19, 2026 (now over three months ago), and no post-launch content cycle or commitments beyond that patch, the game reads as complete.
