Evaluation

The Nightmare Cooperative launched on July 16, 2014 as a complete, self-contained roguelike. The only notable post-launch development event was a December 12, 2014 announcement that Blazing Griffin had acquired the game (and sister title Gentlemen!) from the original developer, Lucky Frame Ltd. In that post, Blazing Griffin's Marketing Manager noted they were "forming plans and working out what's possible" as they moved into 2015 — a vague, exploratory statement that never materialized into any announced or shipped content. No updates, DLC, expansions, or further developer communications have appeared since that December 2014 post. The store description contains no references to planned content, season passes, or ongoing development. With over a decade of silence since the last developer communication and no evidence of any post-launch content ever having been shipped, the game was effectively complete at launch and has remained so.
Evidence
Blazing Griffin announced acquisition of the game from Lucky Frame Ltd, stated they were forming plans for 2015 but had nothing concrete to announce.

About this game

The Nightmare Cooperative is a strategic roguelike where you lead a group of unlikely comrades through some rather difficult situations. Your village has fallen on hard times (due to some rather reckless spending by the Village Council) and it’s up to you to bring back some gold. Or even just try and survive for a bit.

Each member of the Cooperative will bring a different power to your group; the Warrior fights hard (despite her moral objections), the Miner overcomes deep psychological issues to dig you out of sticky situations, the Necromancer is pretty creepy.

A tricky thing, though: you have to control them all together. Move left, and the whole group moves left. Activate the special power, and every member will jump into action.

And please, do your best to bring home some gold, the Village could really use it.
