Evaluation
Use Your Words launched on April 3, 2017 and received post-launch content updates through October 16, 2018, when version 1.1 added 100 new prompts and French localization. That update was the last substantive content release for this game. On December 30, 2024, the developer announced and released a full sequel — Use Your Words 2 — marking the natural end of the original game's lifecycle. The sequel's announcement makes clear that the original game is effectively a finished product; the studio's ongoing creative energy has moved to the new title. No further content has been announced or implied for the original Use Your Words, and the store description's line "hours and hours of playable content with more to come!" appears to refer to what was eventually delivered through the v1.1 update. The game remains available for purchase and is complete as it stands.
