Evaluation
Perceptions of the Dead launched on October 31, 2017 as a free-to-play adventure game containing three stories. A cosmetic Fan Pack DLC (soundtrack, art booklet, and wallpapers) was released on December 13, 2017, completing the game's content offering. The developer's attention then shifted fully to a sequel: a Kickstarter for Perceptions of the Dead 2 was announced in December 2017, launched in January 2018, and the sequel released on Steam on June 14, 2018. The last developer communication directed at this original game was a December 1, 2017 bug fix post. No further content, updates, or announcements have been made for this game since December 2017. With all DLC released, no unreleased content listed, no developer statements about additional content, and activity having moved on to a sequel, this game is a complete, finished product.
