Evaluation

The Brookhaven Experiment launched on July 5, 2016 and received a solid run of post-launch updates through late 2017. The developer shipped four major content updates: a large content patch in August 2016 (new difficulty levels, survival mode overhaul), Oculus Touch support in December 2016, a Halloween 2017 update on October 31, 2017 (two new survival levels, new weapons, new enemies), and a minor device support/balance patch on December 5, 2017. That December 2017 patch is the last known communication from the developer — now more than eight years ago. No further updates, announcements, roadmaps, or DLC have been posted since. The store description contains no references to upcoming content, and there are no unreleased DLC listings. The developer has not announced future plans or an explicit end to development, but the extended silence well beyond any historical update cadence strongly indicates the game reached its final state in December 2017.

Evidence

Minor update adding Windows Mixed Reality support and boss balance tweaks — the last known developer communication.
