Evaluation
We Should Talk launched on July 16, 2020 as a self-described "short-form narrative game" with a defined set of content: conversations with 4 characters and 9 possible endings. The store description and all developer communications consistently present the game as a complete, finite experience. There is no DLC, no post-launch updates, no roadmap, and no developer communication of any kind since the launch day post on July 16, 2020. The developer made no announcements of future content before or after release. With no post-launch update pattern and no outstanding commitments, the game launched as a finished product and remains so. The last developer activity on Steam was the launch announcement itself, now nearly six years ago.
Evidence
Game officially launched on Steam, Switch, Xbox, and PS4 on July 16, 2020. This is the last developer communication on record.
Store description presents the game as a short-form narrative experience with a fixed set of characters and 9 possible endings — a complete, bounded product.

About this game
In We should talk, you'll use the sentence spinner to piece together modular sentences in response to the in-game characters. Choose your words carefully to express yourself as you discuss ongoing problems about life and romance with Sam, your in-game partner, over text messages, while also chatting with friends and strangers at your favorite local bar.
The combination of words you choose impacts the conversations you have, how genuinely you can connect with your partner, and whether your relationship can survive the night. It's up to you how you respond—depending on how you communicate, you'll see one of many possible endings.
- Personalized Choices:
Using the sentence spinner, make choices that connect with you. Countless options abound—be yourself, or role play someone you never thought you could be. - Unique Characters:
Your night at the bar is more interesting thanks to all the unique people you encounter. Find your healthy balance between chatting with your friends and keeping up with the texts from your partner at home. - Different Paths:
Your choices drastically affect the way folks respond to you, leading to one of many different paths in each conversation. Will you be accommodating, flirty, stand-offish, or somewhere in-between? - Multiple endings:
Play again and again to find all 9 possible endings. Conclusions aren't based on a specific path or route the way many traditional narrative games branch, but instead the endings are based on the tone your responses express throughout the game. What do your relationships look like at the end of the night? - Realistic conversations:
Experience the emotions that come with real conversations, whether it’s the the joy that comes with teasing a friend, the anxiety that comes with a heavy text message, or the frustration of navigating a touchy conversation with a creep. Express yourself as clearly as you can and hope that your conversational partner understands, though there's always a risk they might interpret your words differently than you intended.
