Prometheus Wept

Prometheus Wept is a turn-based, party-based isometric role playing game set on Earth, in the aftermath of the digital apocalypse. 

Imagine a near-future Earth where technology has become even more integrated and essential to daily life. Imagine the sudden destruction of all our digital technology, in less than a day, by an unprecedented cyber-attack. The virus tears apart the global web of largely automated agriculture, production and transport. Communications systems are silenced, as healthcare is amputated, and global financial systems flat-line.

Imagine generations of chaos, widespread loss of life, the backslide into barbarism, and the fragmenting of nations into insular city states. Become a wandering Classical Technologist, surviving among the splintered remnants of humanity, searching for and attempting to restore the technological relics of humanity's golden age.

Make a myriad of choices, little and large, to shape your journey through the world of Prometheus Wept. However, as in real-life, your choices will eventually catch up with you, and some will even pursue you to distant places.

• Will you chop down a tree in the path of a convoy to halt it, or deploy makeshift spikes to blow out the truck's tires?

• Will you employ lethal force against the residents of a dilapidated fishing port, who have fallen prey to a mysterious, collective madness, or will you take a softer approach?

• Will you destroy a bridge to make a river crossing more perilous for your advancing enemies, or dispatch a runner to secure reinforcements?

• Will you help overthrow a questionable oligarchy, or cement their position against growing unrest? After all, in the post virus world, civilized is a relative term.

• Turn (AP) and Party Based Tactical Combat: battle it out with a variety of melee, ranged and explosive weapons, with aimed and special attacks, powerful perk-based abilities, attacks of opportunity and more.

• Use The Environment To Your Advantage: Destroy cover to leave enemies exposed, use a variety of environmental objects against your foes, and exploit interactions between the primal forces of fire, water and electricity to your advantage.

• System infiltration: Transfer your character's consciousness into the treacherous environment of a corrupted computer system, while allies protect you from physical world threats. Employ a range of scripts (abilities) to overcome corrupted system security, and commandeer physical world systems like defenses and doors from within the machine.

Build your team using the ADAPTER character system, which comprises 7 stats, 17 skills and a huge variety of perks. Throughout the game, you will meet and ally with exceptional individuals, each with their own unique set of perks.

Create a large variety of weapons, armour, explosives, gadgets, combat stims and medical supplies. The quality of the crafted item is determined by the quality of the blueprints you possess, your crafting skill and the quality of the components used.
