Evaluation
StopGate is a free-to-play community-made visual novel that launched on September 1, 2020. Shortly after launch, the developer issued a small patch on September 6, 2020 addressing typos and minor UI changes. Three months later, on December 21, 2020, a second episode was released alongside a second soundtrack DLC — the only major content update the game has received. All three DLC items (both soundtracks and an art pack) are released. There have been no developer communications of any kind since December 21, 2020, and no announcements of future episodes, updates, or additional content have been made. Given the community-made nature of the project and the complete silence since the second episode shipped, the game appears to have concluded its content at that point.
Evidence
Second episode of StopGate released, alongside a second soundtrack. No further content or future episodes announced.
StopGate Soundtrack Vol. 2 released alongside the second episode. All three DLC items are released with no unreleased entries.

About this game
StopGate visual novel is created by the community, without the involvement of professionals. This is not just a fanfiction about the authors of the StopGame game portal. Although the game is packed to capacity with local memes and references, this is a completely independent story that will take you to a world where magic and technology coexist.
The main character of StopGate finds himself in a very strange world and, together with the player, gets to know its customs, laws and, of course, inhabitants. All characters in the game are drawn in slightly different styles, because all authors on StopGame are different and individual in themselves.
Before entering a world full of adventure, you will need to customize your character. You will be offered a choice of 7 unique races and 8 genders. Plus, you can choose your hero's magic ability. All of this will affect the game in one way or another. Or it won't.
