Evaluation

Scheming Through The Zombie Apocalypse Ep2: Caged launched on April 16, 2024, followed by two small bug-fix patches in the days immediately after launch (April 16 and April 19, 2024). No further updates to this game have been posted since then. The developer has clearly moved on: as of March 2025, they announced and began publicly developing an entirely new game, Dreadwoods Gatekeeper, with a devlog posted in April 2025. There is no announced DLC, no roadmap, no season pass, and no unreleased content listed on the store. The store description treats the game as a self-contained episode with no promises of future additions. With the developer openly focused on a new project and no post-launch content ever planned or hinted at for Ep2, this game shipped as a finished product and has been complete since its launch-week patches.
Evidence
Developer posted the first devlog for Dreadwoods Gatekeeper, confirming active development on a new project with no mention of any further Scheming Through content.

About this game

Continue the adventure with Hank and Larry, two small, defenseless animals caught in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Hank is an old salesman, and their best chance of surviving the apocalypse is by doing what he's good at: manipulating others into working for them.

Meet various characters and bargain with them to convince them to do the scavenging for you while you guide them from the safety of your van.

You’ll need to make tough decisions between precious loot and the safety of your scavengers.

To ensure you collect the loot worth the most points, you’ll trade and even gamble with some animals.

Make friends and enemies as you try to make your way in this new, chaotic, and dangerous world.

We'd love to have you in our Discord Community and chat about the game!
