Major update

Update 8: Project Afterfall Initialised! Co-op & More - Live Now!

Attention, Alloys!

The Council has deliberated and concluded that a rebranding campaign will improve the Project's long-term sustainability and future prospects. As a result, Project Thea is now known as Project Afterfall!

Alongside the new name comes our biggest update yet. The long-awaited Co-op Mode is now active, allowing up to two players to join forces and explore the Wastelands together.

The newly rebranded Project Afterfall also introduces a complete overhaul of the city defence mechanics, making battles both more engaging and much easier to understand. Finally, your 'trusted' companion, the A.I. has found its voice! The NPC is now fully voiced  throughout the main questline - by one of our own developers, no less. It's certainly been an unexpected (and rather fun) new challenge for our tiny team.

Please Note: Old Save will break!

You can finish your run on the previous version:

Right-click the game on Steam → Properties → Betas → choose the top branch.

  • FIX A rare bug when adventure would lead to a crash or softlock

  • FIX Dialogue history not showing the selected option

  • FIX Map markers blocking movement order clicks 

MOD

  • MOD Lowered the overall loudness of the music.

  • MOD One food bonus has been reworked - it now reduces Supplies consumed by unit upkeep instead of providing a Challenge bonus.

  • MOD Card AI turn battle performance improved.

  • MOD Unified distribution of critical wounds to match across Main/Expert/Minion.

  • MOD Mercy and Leon have received some swanky new portraits.

  • MOD Optimised a large number of 3D world map models to improve performance (graphics quality settings are still to come).

  • MOD Void Sickness city events, longer cooldown between events and Supply cost cut

Before Version 1.0 arrives this Fall, our final major milestone will focus on improving the card battle mechanics and polishing the overall game balance.
