Prologue for a Vacant Kingdom

Prologue for a Vacant Kingdom is exactly what its name and store description say it is: a free demo/prologue for a larger game called Farewell for a Vacant Kingdom. The store page is explicit that this is "a slice of a larger game" designed to gather feedback ahead of the full release. That full game — simply titled Vacant Kingdom — was released on October 6, 2022 on Steam (App ID 1704730), as confirmed by the developer's own announcement post on that date. The developer celebrated the launch, thanked everyone who played the Prologue, and noted that the soundtrack would follow a few days later on October 10, 2022. Since the Prologue was always intended as a demo rather than a standalone product with its own content roadmap, its "development" effectively concluded when the full game shipped. The Prologue itself has not received any content updates since its launch patch on April 18, 2019, and no further updates to the Prologue are expected or warranted — it served its purpose as a preview vehicle. This game is a complete, standalone free demo. The developer's journey with it ended when the full game launched in October 2022.
