Evaluation
Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon is a classic FMV adventure game originally released in 1994, brought to Steam by Nightdive Studios on June 12, 2014. The store description is entirely focused on the original game's features — there is no mention of new content, DLC, expansions, or any post-launch development plans. The game was re-released as a complete, finished product. The only developer activity after the Steam launch consists of two identical bug fix posts from December 12, 2014, addressing platform-specific issues (Linux, Mac, and a broken manual). There have been no developer communications of any kind since December 12, 2014. No DLC has been listed. This is a classic game re-release that shipped as a complete package, and the developer has never indicated any plans for additional content.
