Evaluation
The Dark Side of the Moon launched on March 12, 2021 as a self-contained FMV interactive thriller with a defined story and five possible outcomes. The only DLC ever released was the original soundtrack, which shipped on the same day as the game itself. Post-launch developer activity consisted of bug fixes in the days immediately following launch, and one larger patch on February 10, 2023 that added language localisation, a UI overhaul, and a bloopers section. No new story content, expansions, or additional DLC have ever been announced or listed. There has been no developer communication since February 10, 2023. The game was designed and shipped as a complete, finite narrative product, and nothing in the developer's communications suggests additional content was ever planned beyond what has already been delivered.
