Evaluation
This is a short, self-contained free-to-play experimental game that launched on March 28, 2022 as a finished product. The store description explicitly describes it as "a short experimental game" with a clear, complete mechanic: pull the sword from the stone to be crowned king. There is no post-launch content cycle, no roadmap, no developer announcements of future updates, and no unreleased DLC — the only DLC is a soundtrack that released on the same day as the game. The developer has made no statements suggesting ongoing development or future content. The game launched complete and has remained so.
Evidence
Store description explicitly calls the game 'a short experimental game' with a single, fully-described mechanic — pulling a sword from a stone. No mention of future updates, expansions, or additional content.
The only DLC is a soundtrack that released on the same day as the game. No unreleased DLC exists.

About this game
The one who pulls out the sword will be crowned king is a short experimental game about pulling a sword from a stone to be crowned king, like in the Arthurian legend.
Grab the sword with your mouse and try to pull it out from the stone. If you are able to get it all the way out, you will prove that you are the rightful king and as such you will be crowned.
However, you are not the only one trying. Each time someone else online pulls it out, the sword will get longer and heavier. The more you wait, the harder it will be.
If you manage to pull it out, you will receive a corresponding achievement proving that you are a king and not a peasant.
