Evaluation
Vomitoreum launched on July 30, 2021 as a complete, self-contained FPS Metroidvania. The store description presents it as a finished product with no mention of planned updates, DLC, or post-launch content. The developer shipped a bug fix patch the day after launch (July 31, 2021) and issued one more bug fix in January 2023 to address a technical issue. Beyond maintenance, the developer's focus has clearly shifted elsewhere: in January 2023 they announced Angel's Gear, a spiritual successor to Vomitoreum, and in September 2023 they released an entirely separate game (Franzen, a free JRPG). There is no DLC, no roadmap, and no developer statement indicating any further content is planned for Vomitoreum. The game appears to have launched as a complete package and remains so.
Evidence
Developer releases Franzen, a separate free JRPG, further confirming their focus has moved entirely away from Vomitoreum.
Developer announces Angel's Gear, a spiritual successor/pseudo-sequel to Vomitoreum, signaling their creative focus has moved to a new project.

You are the Nephilem, a vessel born of cosmic ash and the churning souls trapped within graves. Created as a being able to survive the hellish environment and search for a way to make the fog recede, you will scour the lands in search of tools and weaponry that will be useful on your journey.
The Nephilem’s end goal is to make the infection and the fog recede, destroy the horrible demons plaguing the land, and let life flourish once again.
