About 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. Advanced communications, lifesaving healthcare, frictionless finances, and fully automated agriculture, manufacturing, and transport keep the world running.

Then, in less than a day, it all vanishes.

A devastating virus, unleashed through an unprecedented cyber-attack, tears apart the foundations of civilization. Automated industries grind to a halt, communications fall silent, healthcare flatlines, and financial systems collapse. What follows is not a temporary crisis, but generations of chaos, widespread loss of life, a descent into barbarism, and the splintering of nations into isolated, 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.
