Evaluation
Slasher's Keep launched out of Early Access on November 19, 2020, after a multi-year development period. The developer, Damian Schloter, continued to post patches and small content updates after the 1.0 release, adding new skills, items, dungeon features, and alchemy recipes through 2022.
However, in the January 31, 2023 patch notes (version 1.36), the developer made an explicit statement about the game's future: "This is why I probably won't be adding any more substantial content to this game." This is a direct, unambiguous statement from the developer that significant new content is not planned going forward. The post has been the last developer communication on record, and there have been no subsequent announcements contradicting this.
Given that the developer has personally stated no more substantial content is coming, and the last update was on January 31, 2023, the game is considered content-complete as of that date.
Evidence
In the 1.36 patch notes, developer Damian Schloter states: 'This is why I probably won't be adding any more substantial content to this game,' citing the complexity of maintaining older code. This is the last known developer communication.
Content update 1.32 adds new alchemy recipes, a new skill (Hardiness), new item images, and other gameplay additions — one of the last substantive content updates.

About this game
It's a first-person roguelite with a focus on melee combat and loot. Now for some vague copy followed by a list of features:
You have been imprisoned and left to rot in the depths of Slasher's Keep, a frightful construct towering above the forgotten forest in the remotest wilds of Ool. As rulers came and went the keep remained the final destination for the nation's most undesirable elements. Many a scoundrel has tried and failed to escape its dungeons, perilous as they are. Will you share their fate, or will you overcome the challenges ahead involving the features below?
