Evaluation
The Abbey of Crime Extensum is a free-to-play adventure game that released on May 19, 2016. It launched as a complete, self-contained experience inspired by Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose." Within the first week of launch, the developer released the game's original soundtrack as a free DLC on May 26, 2016, and added a French translation — rounding out the initial content package.
The game has no unreleased DLC listed on the store, no announced future content, and no post-launch content cycle. The developer has made occasional maintenance patches over the years, most recently a bug fix on April 21, 2025 that corrected Polish and Spanish text issues, showing the developer still tends to the game. However, these are purely technical fixes — no new content has been added or announced since the OST release in May 2016.
With no outstanding content commitments and no history of post-launch expansions, the game launched and was completed as a finished product. The April 2025 patch demonstrates the developer remains engaged enough to fix issues, but this does not indicate new content is planned.
Evidence
Developer released the original soundtrack as free DLC, added a French translation, and updated the Windows runtime — the last content addition to the game.
Only DLC is the OST, released on May 26, 2016. No unreleased DLC exists in the store listing.

About this game
A free game inspired by Umberto Eco's novel and Jean-Jaques Annaud's film "The Name of the Rose", and based on the game "La abadía del crimen" by Paco Menéndez and Juan Delcán.
Don’t follow several and odd sophistical doctrines that spread pestiferous seeds – wrote Clement VI himself in the year 1346 to the masters and alumni from Paris University.
The Pontifex addressed in his letters to the doctrine of an illustrious Franciscan monk of English origin named William of Occam, who ran away several years earlier from the prison of Avignon, accused of heresy. He had been imprisoned for four years, until he could escape, and shought asylum in the court of Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria, who was at odds with Pope John XXII.
When the Emperor died, William wanted to return to the mission with his order and the church, so he traveled to Italy with his young novice to meet Bernardo Gui, who was the head of the Inquisition at that time in that region, and, ultimately, the representative of the Pope.
However we cannot know for certain whether William achieved his goal. Only the testimony left by his disciple years after the events happened, in a collection of scrolls; where those amazing and terrible events that happened during the week William and him spent in the abbey the meeting was scheduled were described.
The testimony of the story you are about to revive…
In this game you play as a Franciscan, Fray William of Occam and his young novice Adso of Melk on a quest to discover the perpetrator of a series of murders in a Benedictine abbey. The entire game is played in an isometric 3D environment, with a series of objects that has to be collected in order to successfully complete the game.
