Evaluation

Soul Axiom launched out of Early Access on February 29, 2016 as a complete, finished product. The developer explicitly announced content completion prior to launch on January 19, 2016, and the 1.0 release post confirmed the game was leaving Early Access. After launch, the studio released two post-launch feature patches (versions 1.1 and 1.2) addressing optimization and bug fixes, followed by three free bonus levels — Dana's Space Station, George's Lighthouse, and Nate's Desert — added on November 7, 2016 as timed console exclusives that made their way to Steam. That November 2016 update represents the last substantive content addition to the game. On February 7, 2020, Wales Interactive announced that Soul Axiom would be removed from the Steam store and replaced by a new listing, Soul Axiom Rebooted, described as a quality-of-life enhanced version. The original Soul Axiom listing remains purchasable and playable, but no further development or content updates have been communicated for it. The game shipped as a complete narrative experience with no ongoing content cycle, season pass, or unreleased DLC. All available DLC (an art book and soundtrack) was released at launch.

Evidence

The First 5 Minutes...

When you begin the game you are free falling through a storm. Lightning sporadically illuminates the sky, showing brief, vivid flashes of memories. Your memories. You struggle to take a breath as you plummet, out of control, into the eye of the storm, towards your certain death.
Squinting, eyelashes battling the rain, you catch a glimpse of a large object that you are hurtling towards. You brace yourself for impact, for death, confused and terrified and –

You are on the deck of a ship, rain pummelling the wooden boards around you. You look up to see four shadowy figures on the bridge, gazing into the distance, with an old man at the helm.
