Evaluation
Stowaway entered Early Access on November 6, 2020 as a 10-player social deduction game. In its entire history on Steam, the developer has published only two updates: a bug fix on November 7, 2020 (the day after launch), and a small feature patch on March 1, 2021. Since March 1, 2021, there has been no developer communication of any kind — no patch notes, no blog posts, no roadmap, and no statement about the game's future. The game remains listed in Early Access with no indication from the developer about when or whether it will reach a full release. Given the complete silence since March 2021 and the absence of any roadmap or stated development goals, it is unclear whether active development is continuing.
Evidence
Game is still listed as Early Access with no updated description, roadmap, or completion timeline provided by the developer.
Small patch fixing voice chat issues, UI bugs, and minor optimizations, with a host indicator added. This is the last developer communication on record.
