About Prometheus Wept
Prometheus Wept is a party and action point turn based RPG set in a near-future, post digital Earth. The game offers hardcore squad-level combat, meaningful choices, deep character progression and an advanced crafting system. You can wishlist Prometheus Wept on Steam here.
In Prometheus Wept, on a near future earth, a potent virus disables the majority of computerised technology in a matter of hours, casting mankind into a new dark age. The action of Prometheus Wept occurs several generations after the fall. You will assume the role of a classical technologist living among the shattered remnants of humanity, driven to discover and restore the technological and cultural relics of the mythical mid 21st century.
Key Features
- 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.
- Digitise your consciousness and infiltrate corrupted computer networks as an Avatar. You allies must protect your body from threats in the physical world while you battle the network's security protocols.
- 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.
- Deep Character Progression: Build your team using the ADAPTED 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.
- Meaningful Choices, Little and Large: Will you pay an odd, roadside priest for a blessing or ignore him? 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.
- Deep Crafting System: 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.

Hello, I hope you're doing well!
TLDR: The rebel finale is complete, and an early access release before the end of the year is likely, but not definite. If you'd like further details, check out the below video or text.
Rebel Finale Complete:
I've just wrapped up the rebel finale. Your goal is to capture Sunny Pines, and the conflict plays out over up to 6 maps. If you're defeated while attacking any of the five districts of Sunny Pines, you'll have to defend the rebel base from a militia counter-attack. If you win, you can continue to fight, but if you lose, Sunny Pines retains its existing leadership and you proceed to act 2.
The rebels start out as the underdog. They are less numerous, less well equipped, and most have no combat experience. Your party size expands at this point, increased by a % of the rebels you've recruited, while the remaining rebels will replace losses, secure captured districts, and defend the rebel base.
You can capitalise on civic discontent to mobilise rioters against the militia!
Capturing sectors often provide a benefit, like an increase to party size, or seized equipment. The current gameplay for act 1 ends after the final battle. I would've liked to add the epilogue, but doing so would greatly reduce the probability of a release this year.
Early Access Release Update:
There's a fairly good chance of an early access release for Prometheus Wept this year. I've taken very few days off, to boost the chances of being ready in time.
Typically, it's a bad idea to release in the wake of a major Steam sale event, or too late in the year, as getting coverage will be more difficult. The coverage issue is likely less relevant, as Prometheus Wept isn't going to get a ton of coverage anyway. Also, if time is tight, I can buy a week or two by just releasing the windows version to start, and following up with the Mac and Linux versions shortly after release.
Yeah, you might want to move...
Moving on to what needs to be done. The good news is that every encounter in the game has been tested, so the majority of the testing work's complete. There are, of course, any number of areas which could be worked on, but I'm going to concentrate on two. The first is balancing, particularly the combat, economy and character leveling. The second is to add some smaller encounters to flesh out the setting and characters.
All the best,
Daithi

Keep it up! You' very talented
so a virus was released to keep humanity from reaching the technological singularity and achieve parity with the gods? Dig the Prometheism vibes
Hi JuiceIngot - the virus pulled humanity back from a golden age, destroying our digital infrastructure and all our digitally stored knowledge. There's more going on about the nature of the virus, but your character in the game is interested in finding and restoring golden age technological artifacts.
Tiene muy buena pinta.
Gracias!
Looks great!
Cheers :)
