Evaluation

Welcome to the Game III launched on July 16, 2026. In the launch announcement, the developer explicitly stated that while two endings are available at launch (Normal and 1337 mode endings), three additional endings are planned and have been partially completed — bringing the intended total to five unique endings. The developer noted these extra endings "are not ready to be shared just yet" and encouraged players to learn the game in the meantime. Additionally, a fifth cosmetic DLC (a "Mankini" outfit) was listed as "coming soon" in the same post, while four other cosmetic outfit DLCs launched alongside the game. This means there is confirmed unfinished content the developer intends to ship after launch.
Evidence
Launch post explicitly states three additional endings (beyond the two available at launch) are planned and partially completed, with a goal of five unique endings total. A fifth cosmetic DLC ('Mankini') is also listed as coming soon.

After striking up a debt with folks who refuse to accept a failure to pay, Simon has landed himself into a tough spot. Due to his own poor decision making he's forced to play "The Game" tonight, where his life’s fate will be decided. However plainly winning isn't a sufficient payday for who he owes, so a bet has been made to up the prize and in return organizers of "The Game" can make things more dangerous for Simon.
