Evaluation
Wired is a self-contained atmospheric puzzle-platformer released on July 23, 2018 by the University of Cambridge Engineering Department. The game launched as a complete, finished product — it tells a single contained story set in a derelict building, with no DLC, season pass, or post-launch content expansion ever announced or released.
Following launch, the developer issued a small set of maintenance and quality-of-life updates through September 30, 2018: a save-game bug fix, a volume slider fix, a feature patch adding subtitles and a progress indicator, and a minor bug fix addressing fuse behavior. The last developer communication was on September 30, 2018. No updates of any kind have appeared since that date.
There is no announced future content, no unreleased DLC, no roadmap, and no developer statement suggesting additional content was ever planned. The game was clearly intended and shipped as a complete, standalone experience.
Evidence
Minor bug fixes for fuses and a stuck level — the last developer communication on record.
Store description presents a self-contained narrative puzzle-platformer with a clear beginning and end — no mention of expansions, DLC, or ongoing content.

About this game
Wire up electrical circuits and make your way through a derelict building to keep your appointment with a mysterious professor who lives at the top.
Wired is an atmospheric puzzle-platformer set in a derelict building which has remained untouched since the 1970s. In each room, you will wire up the lifts, doors, switches and fuel cells in order to get through. The puzzle mechanics are built on an accurate model of how electricity behaves and as you progress through the game you will solve problems that are not usually encountered until A-level physics.
Throughout the game, you encounter cine projector screens giving information you need in order to progress and slowly unravelling the mystery of who you are, why you are there and why the professor built this strange thing in the first place.
