Evaluation
The 13th Doll launched on October 30, 2019 as a complete fan-made puzzle adventure game. It shipped with a fully realized story, 26 original puzzles, and two playable characters. The only associated store listing is the official soundtrack (released November 17, 2019), which is a companion product rather than a content addition.
Developer news since launch has consisted exclusively of bug-fix patches, indicating ongoing maintenance rather than new content development. The most recent developer post — from November 23, 2022 — announced the team's next project, a new game called "illucid," explicitly calling it a new game rather than content for The 13th Doll. This is the clearest possible signal that the team has moved on from The 13th Doll and considers it a finished product.
No DLC, expansions, or post-launch content updates have been announced or released for the game itself. The store description describes a complete, self-contained experience. The 13th Doll appears to have launched as a finished game and received only maintenance patches in the years since.
Evidence
Developer announced an entirely new game ('illucid') via Kickstarter, signaling that the team has moved on from The 13th Doll to a new project.
Only DLC released is the official soundtrack (November 17, 2019) — a companion product, not a content expansion. No game content DLC exists or has been announced.

About this game
The 13th Doll is a game created by and for fans of The 7th Guest series! It began as an all volunteer, freeware passion project, but evolved into a fully licensed game.
In the 7th Guest, evil toymaker Henry Stauf built a mansion, and invited 6 guests. A 7th Guest, Tad, snuck in and was trapped there, afflicted by mystifying spirits, dolls and the ghosts of the other guests - until he defeated Stauf.
The 13th Doll ties in with the events of The 7th Guest. A decade after Tad managed to escape the mansion, he is still haunted by the souls, dolls, and Stauf's victims he left behind. So haunted, in fact, that the young man now resides in a mental institution - misunderstood, plagued by guilt and obsessed with one idea: to escape the dreary padded walls of his asylum cell, return to the mansion - the site of his innermost fears - to rescue those he left behind and defeat Stauf once and for all!
Soon, a new doctor by the name of Richmond arrives in the asylum. Naïve to the legacy of Henry Stauf, and equally bewildered and intrigued by the fantastic legend, the staunch rationalist plans to take Tad on a cathartic trip back to the mansion.
This unconventional therapy attempt rapidly turns into a fateful journey, unravelling Tad and Richmond's contrasting worldviews and leading the unlikely duo straight into a horrifying vortex of lies, illusions, lunacy and death. And soon a blood-curdling question arises: Have the two visitors really made their way to Stauf's harrowing home on their own accord or are they mere pawns in a much grander, inescapable scheme?
While playing The 13th Doll, a lot of time will be spent navigating through gloomy sites, concealed rooms and maze areas from an immersive first person perspective. Thanks to the game being developed in Unity3d, this becomes an advanced and engaging experience, as the engine allows free movement and a fully accessible environment in detailed high-definition visuals. For the first time, players will be able to explore every inch of Stauf's residence and face all its eerie inhabitants up close and personal. A plethora of interactive, delightfully animated objects will bring even the most desolate locations to life.
Logic puzzles were an integral part of The 7th Guest's gameplay, and The 13th Doll follows suit. We've designed 26 original brain-teasers, all varying in style and offering a wide array of intellectual challenges. These diabolical creations are found throughout the game - whether it be card tricks, pathfinding and chess challenges, or even artificial intelligence puzzles versus Henry Stauf himself!.
