Evaluation
The Invisible Hours launched on October 10, 2017 as a self-contained murder mystery experience. The store description presents it as a complete, narrative-driven product with no mention of expansions, DLC, updates, or future content. There are no DLC listings, no developer news posts of any kind, and no announcements of additional content at any point since launch. The game was clearly designed and shipped as a finished, standalone work — a single immersive theatrical experience with a defined beginning and end. No post-launch content cycle has ever existed.

About this game
The Invisible Hours is a complex murder mystery playable with or without a VR headset. Players freely explore an intricate web of interwoven stories within a sprawling mansion.
A group of strangers receive a curious invitation from the enigmatic inventor, Nikola Tesla, offering each of them the chance to make amends for their darkest wrongdoings. When the last guest arrives at Tesla’s isolated mansion laboratory, they find him dead – murdered. Disgraced Swedish detective, Gustaf Gustav, vows to find the killer amongst the other guests: a blind butler, a convicted murderer, the world’s most famous actress, Tesla’s former assistant, the son of a wealthy railroad magnate, and rival inventor Thomas Edison. But none of these people are what they seem.
The player is invisible, with freedom to follow and observe anyone in the story – or to explore the mansion for hidden clues.
