Evaluation
Project Root launched on May 1, 2014 as a self-contained shoot 'em up game. The developer shipped two patches in the weeks following launch — a feature/optimization patch on June 9, 2014 and a bug fix patch on June 17, 2014 — and has not communicated publicly since. There is no DLC, no season pass, no announced expansions, and no roadmap of any kind. The store description is entirely focused on the base game's story and mechanics, with no mention of planned post-launch content. With no further updates or communications from the developer in over 12 years, the game launched as a finished product and any minor post-launch patching concluded in June 2014.
Evidence
Version 1.05 released fixing control option issues. This is the last recorded developer communication.
Version 1.04 patch released with difficulty adjustments, crash fixes, missing sound fixes, and rendering optimization shortly after launch.

About this game
Prometheus Corporation is the leader in the generation and distribution of energy to all cities in the world. Due to the ideas and designs of charismatic president Demetrio Watts, the corporation developed new technologies producing higher quantities of energy at a lower cost, granting them near-absolute control of the market.
The friendly policies enforced by Prometheus and Demetrio Watts has made citizens confident they will have access to electricity in their houses every day. However, very few of them are aware of what's behind Demetrio Watts' smile or behind the scenes in Prometheus Corporation. Secret plans. Terrible plans. Plans which will take the population by surprise. When they realize what is going on, it will already be too late.
A group of rebels are the only ones who know Demetrio and his company's true intentions, and will do everything it takes to bring the truth to light about the person who pretends to be their eternal benefactor. It will not be easy or agreeable, but the danger behind what Prometheus hides within is a threat to all. Stopping Demetrio Watts is in the hands of a group of unknowns. Depends on Arcturus.
