Evaluation
Uncanny Valley launched on April 23, 2015 as a complete survival horror game. The developer shipped two patches in the weeks following launch — the first on April 25, 2015 addressing launch bugs, and the second on May 10, 2015 adding controller support, Steam trading cards, and minor gameplay improvements. The last developer communication of any kind was that May 10, 2015 patch. There have been no news posts, announcements, or updates since then. The only DLC ever listed is the soundtrack, which shipped on launch day. No future content was ever announced, no roadmap was published, and no expansion or major update was promised. The game launched as a finished narrative product and the developer's post-launch activity was limited to stabilization work in the first three weeks. With over a decade of silence since May 2015, the game is clearly complete as shipped.
Evidence
Last developer communication: Patch #2 adding controller support, Steam trading cards, bug fixes, and minor dialogue improvements. No future content announced.

About this game
Uncanny Valley is a survival horror game, focusing on a bone chilling story, exploration and heart pounding action.
Uncanny Edition: if you buy this, you get the game and the soundtrack bundled together for a lower price.
About the game:
Uncanny Valley is a survival horror game that includes a mix of exploration, puzzle solving and a bit of action with a lot of optional story content. We're trying to preserve the old survival horror kind of gameplay instead of following the modern trend of creating a third person shooter with horror elements.
Story:
You play as a security guard named Tom at a remote facility. He's in charge of the night shift, while his lazy partner Buck is in charge of the day shift. Nights are long, so Tom starts exploring the facility and finds things he shouldn't. The story plays a huge part in the game, so saying anything more would be a major spoiler.
Consequence system:
Uncanny Valley's main difference from other games is a thing we like to call the consequence system. Whenever you fail at something, the game goes on, but with harsh consequences for your character that can impact both the story and the gameplay.
For example - you fail at avoiding your attackers, meaning your character will move slower throughout the game, making it harder to escape future pursuers. The player then needs to be careful and more clever, which adds more tension to the game. Of course, there are mistakes you can do that lead to your death, but we're trying to avoid that as much as possible.
Why? Because dying and repeating the same section over and over is tedious and leads to frustration. The game stops being scary if you're angry and just want to rush through it, so we think that adding such a system will still keep the tension while adding a new layer to scariness.
