Evaluation
Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 launched on June 25, 2012. The store description mentions that content would be "added later via free updates," but given that the game released in 2012 and the only developer news post from the Rain-Slick 3 Steam page is from May 26, 2017 — and that post is simply an announcement promoting an entirely different Zeboyd Games title (Cosmic Star Heroine) — there is no evidence that any such post-launch updates were ever delivered or remain pending. The developer has not communicated anything about this game's content in many years, and no unreleased DLC appears in the store listing. The game launched as a complete, standalone RPG, and Zeboyd Games has since moved on to other projects. This game is best understood as a finished product.
Evidence
The only developer news post is from May 26, 2017, and it promotes an entirely different game (Cosmic Star Heroine), with no mention of Rain-Slick 3. This is the last known communication from the developer on this game's Steam page.
Store description mentions '8-12 hour quest with even more content to be added later via free updates,' suggesting post-launch additions were originally planned.
