UnMetal
Released Sep 2021
UnMetal is a 2D stealth action-adventure that pays homage to the classics with a healthy dose of humor and satire. You play as Jesse Fox, who is definitely NOT an elite commando, under arrest for a crime he didn't commit, and must escape a covert military base using his wits and fists.

Evaluation
UnMetal launched on September 28, 2021 as a complete, self-contained stealth action-adventure game. The developer, Fran, posted a heartfelt release message describing years of work on the project with no mention of planned post-launch expansions or additional content. Following launch, the team shipped a series of patches (v1.0.1 through v1.0.11) addressing bugs, quality-of-life improvements, and adding the "UnPerfect" challenge system — with the final patch arriving on December 15, 2021. After that date, no further developer communications about the game itself have appeared. The only posts since then are publisher-wide seasonal sale announcements from Versus Evil that mention UnMetal as part of their catalog alongside other titles. Both DLC items — the soundtrack and the Creator Pack (a free voice pack featuring content creators) — were released on launch day and no additional DLC has been announced or listed. The December 15, 2021 patch (v1.0.11) represents the last substantive developer activity on the game, and the overall pattern is consistent with a finished product that received a standard post-launch polish cycle.
Evidence
Patch v1.0.11 released — the last substantive developer update for the game, adding Ironman modifier improvements and fixing chapter-specific issues.
Patch v1.0.8 introduced the 'UnPerfect' challenge system and fixed numerous bugs across chapters, described as part of a polish phase after resolving critical issues.

About this game
You play as Jesse Fox who finds himself imprisoned in a covert military base where he was arrested for a crime he didn't commit. Jesse must now escape using his dry wits, quick words, improvised skills, arsenal of warfare, violent explosives, MacGuyvered gadgets, and an elaborate explanation of how it all went down. If that all fails, he'll use his fists.
- Uncover a clandestine plot as you escape from an enemy base where you were imprisoned for a crime you didn't commit.
- Modern gameplay mechanics that pay homage to a solid classic.
- Gain experience and skills by utilizing stealth to take down your enemies.
- Deceive, adapt, and do whatever is necessary to escape… even if you have to impersonate a cat.
- Enjoy the thrill of interrogation as you elaborate specifics of your great escape to a lieutenant who seeks to scrutinize Jesse's every word in an intricate report.
- Decipher a plethora of satirical culture, gaming and movie references. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll fall in love with them.
- Collect an arsenal of classic gear, things that go "pew-pew", maybe a thing or two that goes "BOOM!", and some things that go "BOING!", and definitely a thing that goes "SCRATCH".
- Does this smell like chloroform to you?
