Evaluation
Stifled launched on July 10, 2018 as a complete narrative horror game. In the days following launch, the developer posted a couple of feature patches addressing controller support and optimization issues. The most recent notable update, posted on March 24, 2019, announced completed Vive Wand and 3DRudder controller support — and the developer's own wording in that post was "we FINALLY completed work on Stifled." That statement signals the game reached its finished state at that point. There have been no developer communications since March 2019, no unreleased DLC listed on the store, no roadmap or promises of future content, and no ongoing update pattern. The game shipped as a self-contained narrative experience and Gattai Games has not indicated any further content is planned.
Evidence
Developer explicitly stated 'we FINALLY completed work on Stifled' while announcing Vive Wand and 3DRudder support. This is the last known developer communication.
Game launched on July 10, 2018 with no announced post-launch content roadmap or DLC plans.

About this game
Stifled is a multi-award winning, Sound-based Stealth Thriller, where SOUND is the only way you SEE and the enemies HEAR your fear through your microphone input.
We won a bunch of awards for being weird and different. So we're strutting it.
Unique echolocation-based graphics and innovative microphone-enabled gameplay.
Step into the shoes of David Ridley, a man whose mind is slowly fracturing under the weight of heartbreak, turning his world dark. A world where sound gives a glimpse of your surroundings but also attracts the attention of grotesque and terrifying creatures lurking in the dark.
Stifle your screams, because the enemies can hear you through your microphone.
Complete your immersion (and possibly scare yourself s***less) with Virtual Reality. We support Oculus and VIVE headsets.
If Stifled seemed familiar, well it is because its Spiritual Predecessor, Lurking has been played by some of your favorite let’s players!
