Evaluation

Scrap Garden - The Day Before is a free-standing prequel to the original Scrap Garden, released on October 7, 2016. The developer shipped a handful of patches in the weeks following launch — fixing bugs and adding minor seasonal content — with the last update arriving on December 22, 2016. After that, all developer communications shifted to promoting a separate, unrelated project called Time Loader (announced and demonstrated in early 2021). There are no DLC listings, no roadmap, no announced future content, and no post-launch update pattern beyond the initial stabilization patches. The developer has not communicated anything about this game since December 22, 2016. This game launched as a complete, free standalone experience and has been content-complete since its final patch.

Evidence

Game is described as a free standalone prequel chapter — not DLC, does not require the main game. Positioned as a self-contained release.
