Evaluation
These Doomed Isles: The First God was a free prologue chapter for the main game, These Doomed Isles. It launched on May 5, 2023 and served as an introductory experience to showcase the full game ahead of its release.
On March 7, 2024, the developer posted a farewell message explaining that the prologue would be removed from Steam the following month (approximately April 2024). The developer stated that the game "doesn't really reflect the main game anymore" and that development focus had shifted entirely to the main game's updates. This is a clear, explicit statement that the prologue's time on the store was ending, and the game is now confirmed as no longer purchasable — consistent with it having been delisted.
This product was always intended as a temporary promotional prologue rather than a standalone game with its own ongoing content roadmap. Its removal was a deliberate, communicated decision by the developer, not an abandonment.
Evidence
Developer announced the prologue would be taken down from Steam the following month (approximately April 2024), citing that it no longer reflects the main game and that development focus has moved to the main game's updates.
Short description explicitly labels this as 'a prologue chapter of the main game, These Doomed Isles,' confirming it was never intended as a standalone product.

About this game
Take your first steps in the role of a deity with Cernunnos, the first god you will play as in the main game. Learn to raise land from the sea, build settlements for your followers, rain fire upon waves of invaders and answer your followers’ prayers ahead of the launch of the main game this Summer.
Raise land from the sea, build a settlement for your followers and provide them with the means to gather the resources they need to prosper. Expand from humble beginnings to a sprawling island chain with farms, factories, fortifications and more, as you discover ever more advanced buildings and strategies.
Harvest cards to craft the deck you want. Manage the cards in your deck to ensure you can survive until the next harvest. Find powerful synergies with a bunch of cards to play with and relics to overcome the challenges in your way.
Will you survive these doomed isles? You'll face increasing challenges as waves of invaders and powerful bosses attempt to undo all of your hard work, turning your settlement to rubble and crushing any of your followers who dare to stand in their way. Learn from your failures and perfect your strategies to reign victorious.
Discover the unique god powers that Cernunnos wields and carry your civilisation to victory. Rain meteors down on invaders or stir up a storm to sink them at sea; stack up powerful status effects on your enemies and make sure they think twice about invading again!
