Evaluation
The Slater is a solo-developed, story-driven stealth game by Alessandro Laina that launched on September 20, 2018. Following launch, the developer was active through early 2019, shipping a series of post-launch patches that added difficulty modes, ultrawide resolution support, key rebinding, and translations into six languages. The last developer communication was on February 4, 2019, when the language update was published. There have been no posts, announcements, or updates of any kind since that date. The game's store description presents it as a complete, self-contained product with a defined set of six levels and a resolved narrative. No DLC was ever listed, no roadmap was ever published, and the developer has never announced any additional content. The game appears to have launched as a finished product and received a short post-launch refinement period before development concluded. There is no indication that further content is planned or forthcoming.
