Evaluation
Stairs is a first-person psychological horror game that released on September 28, 2015. The store description presents the game as a complete, self-contained narrative experience with three distinct story arcs, a defined cast of characters, and a clear beginning-to-end structure. There is no DLC, no season pass, no roadmap, and no post-launch developer communications of any kind — the three news posts on record contain no meaningful content. The game was designed and shipped as a finished product, with no indication from the developer that additional content was ever planned or delivered after launch.
Evidence
Store description presents a complete, self-contained horror narrative with three full story arcs, defined characters, and all features described as fully implemented at launch.
