- The nine-year development gap confirms the app is in a terminal maintenance state, which prevents any competitive response to modern survival simulator entrants.
The SWOT
- Surface traversal mechanics (walls/ceilings) provide a unique perspective
- Adding diverse map locations and character skins could address player requests

Sunset the project because the nine-year development gap and persistent technical instability make a recovery unlikely → reallocate resources to new titles.
