Evaluation

The Haunting of Joni Evers launched on January 13, 2025 as a complete, self-contained supernatural mystery adventure. Following launch, Causeway Studios issued several bug fix and quality-of-life patches, culminating in an October 27, 2025 update that added chapter select, polished rough edges, and released the game's soundtrack as a standalone purchase. That same post confirmed the studio had begun full development on a second game — explicitly described as a separate new title, not additional content for Joni Evers. On September 1, 2026, Causeway Studios formally announced their second game, The Final Cut of Lilith Cunningham, and simultaneously released the "Lilith Update" for Joni Evers. This update adds new notes, visuals, and recordings throughout the Cunningham House — specifically described as background items and teasers for the new game. This is a small, cross-promotional content drop tied to the next game's announcement, not the beginning of an ongoing content program. The developer's own framing confirms the studio's creative focus has fully shifted to the new title. The only DLC ever released for Joni Evers is the soundtrack (October 27, 2025). No expansions, story DLC, or further content updates have been announced. The game shipped as a finished narrative experience and has received only maintenance, polish, and one small cross-promotional update since launch.

Evidence

Causeway Studios announces their second game, The Final Cut of Lilith Cunningham, and reflects on the past year since shipping Joni Evers — framing Joni Evers as their completed first game and the new title as the studio's active focus going forward.

About this game

Some houses aren’t just homes. They’re shaped by the experiences of their inhabitants, both good and bad. Through love and anger, happiness and despair, some houses become… more.

The Cunningham House, formerly home to generations of the family, is one such house, and something is very wrong inside. With most of her family having abandoned the charming home in small-town Oklahoma, Joni Evers must face her legacy, and she is not alone.

Step into Joni’s shoes and explore the massive mansion, experiencing an emotional tale steeped in the dark supernatural. Delve into the long forgotten corners of the family home, uncover the secrets of Joni’s broken family, and learn what (or who) lingers in the shadows.

Face the Inexplicable — There’s something off in the Cunningham House. A strange energy crackles in the air. Maybe it’s something harmless. Maybe it’s not. Joni must confront otherworldly forces and use them to her advantage before they can be used against her.

Unravel the Mystery — What truly haunts Joni Evers? Is it the force that occupies the mansion? Or have the regrets and sorrows of the past somehow taken shape and life of their own? Perhaps both? Find out the truth as you delve deeper into the past, exploring Joni’s memories.

Experience a Personal Story — Joni and her family have fractured, but is the damage beyond repair? Joni’s encounter with the unexplained will force her to confront painful memories and strained relationships. Will the experience help her heal the wounds or simply widen the divide?.

Explore the Cunningham House — This vast, old, family home is full of hidden secrets and family histories. Find them to discover what drove Joni and her family apart. Confront the past to survive the night.

Award-Winning Voice Acting— Joni Evers is brought to life by Kelly Pekar, a celebrated stage and voice actress, described as a “singular presence” for her role in the 2023 Baskerville. Her work in The Haunting of Joni Evers earned her a 2025 Collision Gold Award for Voice Performance..

Original Soundtrack — Pekar’s performance is backed by a soundtrack composed by Gustavo Coutinho, known for his work on PAYDAY 3 and Reaching for Petals.
