Evaluation
Rat Simulator launched out of Early Access on July 27, 2017 with version 0.14, which the developer described as marking the game's full release on Steam. Following launch, the developer shipped a performance patch on October 31, 2017 and a final stability patch on December 29, 2017. After that December 2017 patch, there have been no further developer communications of any kind — no new content announcements, no roadmap, no additional updates. The game shipped as a self-contained experience with a defined set of features (9 houses, boss fights, stealth mechanics, upgrades), and there is no DLC listed on the store. The developer never announced plans for additional content after the full release. The game appears to have launched as a finished product and concluded its post-launch maintenance by December 2017.
