Evaluation

ONINAKI launched on August 22, 2019 as a complete, self-contained action-RPG from Tokyo RPG Factory and Square Enix. The store description presents no mention of downloadable content, expansions, or post-launch updates — it describes only the base game's features and story. The developer's only post-launch communication was a controller troubleshooting post on August 29, 2019, one week after release. No further posts have been made since then. There is no DLC listed for the game, no roadmap was ever published, and no future content of any kind was announced. The game was clearly shipped as a finished standalone product with no post-launch content cycle, which is consistent with Tokyo RPG Factory's approach to their previous titles (I Am Setsuna, Lost Sphear). Development is complete.
Evidence
The only developer post after launch was a controller troubleshooting guide published one week after release on August 29, 2019. No further communications have been made since.

About this game

Reincarnation is the foundation of our way of life. We celebrate the lives we’ve been given, and offer up prayers for the next.

It is grief of death which shackles the living, and causes the dead to stray. Indeed, there is no greater affront to reincarnation.

So do we turn our grief to joy as we send off the dead.

But the souls of those who held back their tears in life still need salvation in death. A duty that falls to the Watchers.

Their task is to guide the wandering souls known as the Lost, and serve as keepers of the Living World and the Beyond.

The Watchers sever the bonds that tie the Lost to this world, and send them on to the next. They navigate the emotions of the living and the dead. They prize life above all else.

This is the story of one Watcher.
