Evaluation
THOTH launched on October 7, 2016 as a complete, handcrafted twin-stick shooter. Its post-launch history is brief: a major difficulty overhaul shipped on June 30, 2017 (the "THOTH Have Mercy" update), a soundtrack DLC released on July 4, 2017, and a small compatibility patch for macOS 64-bit on September 16, 2019. That compatibility patch is the last developer communication on record. There is no post-launch pattern of major content releases, no unreleased DLC, no announced future content, and no developer statement hinting at plans beyond maintenance. The game was designed and released as a finished product, and all developer activity since launch has been maintenance rather than new content. The September 16, 2019 patch represents the last known developer touch to the game.
Evidence
Major difficulty adjustment update shipped, overhauling game balance, adding a second-chance mechanic, new achievements, and remixed end-game content.
Store description presents THOTH as a complete, handcrafted experience with no mention of ongoing updates, future content, or planned additions.

About this game
"There's a ruthless intelligence at work, a sense that the genre’s rulesets and iconography have been crushed to the size of an atom, to the point of implosion." - Rolling Stone
From the creators of the award-winning '140' comes an innovative and intense new entry in the twin-stick shooter genre. Though it’s deeply rooted in the arcade tradition, THOTH also brings something unique to the table. Each stage in the game is specifically designed to require both puzzle solving and finesse to get through. Players constantly need to think about positioning and timing while making sure to both dodge enemies and avoid collisions.
Aesthetically, THOTH is a vibrant rush of colors, shapes, and patterns accompanied by a brutal soundtrack by electronic music pioneers Cristian Vogel & SØS Gunver Ryberg. The imposing aesthetics and the relentlessly demanding gameplay eventually induces a trance-like state in the player.
The game is independently designed by Jeppe Carlsen, former lead gameplay designer at Playdead.
