- Valley of Wrath Update Out Now! - 15 September 2026
The conclusion of act 1 and the first section of act 2, the Valley of Wrath are live. The world map for act 1 has been reworked, a new enemy type and four new items have been added. Finally, a number of bugs have been fixed. I'm really interested in getting more feedback to improve the game, so let me know if you're curious and end up giving Prometheus Wept a try!Hi there-I hope you're doing well! As promised, here's a more in-depth look at the recent update(s). The main addition is the Valley of Wrath. Comprising four derelict cityscape maps, this area is inhabited by Smombies, former humans, maintained in a bizarre half life by corrupted tech implants. Here, you must navigate a gauntlet of undead conspiracy theorists, prank video makers, political extremists, supplement shills and more! This new section adds ~90 minutes of play-time to the game. Help or oppose these explosive wielding…
- Valley of Wrath “Soft Launch” Out Now! - 4 September 2026
Hi there!Finally – the first part of Act 2 is available for your (hopefully) gaming pleasure. It's on the main branch, as it doesn't interfere with saves and includes a handful of fixes. I'll follow up in the near future with a more comprehensive post, and an update to the game build, based on your feedback and a reworked Act 1 world map. But, for those who'd like to be the first to check it out, it's there now :)Getting to the Valley of Wrath:There are 4 main outcomes to act 1. You either join the militia or the rebels, and your chosen faction either wins or is defeated.For the defeat outcomes, you will not be able to visit any of the locations in act 1. To leave the area, just talk to your new permanent ally and select the dialogue option to leave.The victory outcomes pick up after the final battle. In both cases, an existing conversation exists, which leads to the conclusion of act 1…
- Prometheus Wept in the Cyberpunk Fest! - 4 August 2026
Hi there,If you're arriving here from Steam's cyberpunk fest, welcome! It's great to be a part of it, and I figured it'd be a good time to lay out some relevant information.To What Extent Is Prometheus Wept Cyberpunk?The basic premise is that on a near-future earth, what appears to be a devastating cyber-attack wipes out the majority of our digital technology in the space of a day. This throws human society into chaos, resulting in greatly reduced population, social order and technology. So, the setting combines aspects of post-apocalyptic and cyberpunk. Cyberspace & Artificial Intelligences:Cyberspace exists in the form of a limited number of computer networks which have survived the event. On occasion, it will be necessary to enter cyberspace, which your character has the rare capability to do. While allies protect you from physical world threats, you must use a range of scripts (abil…
- A quick update! - 29 July 2026
Hi there – I hope you're doing well!A quick update: currently working on finishing the connective tissue between act 1 and 2. The work's taking longer than anticipated – there are quite a few strands to follow and tie up. Somedays, it feels like marching through treacle, but it's getting there :)The militia-side conclusion is mostly debugged. I'm half-way through writing the second draft of the rebel side conclusion – another few days and I'll be scripting and debugging it. There's only so much writing and debugging a person can do in a day. To break things up, I've added three new craftable utility items and the game's first energy weapon as rewards for resolving the situation in Sunny Pines. I've also been throwing a few hours a day at an improved world map for act 1. I really appreciate all your patience and support, and I'm sorry this is taking longer than expected. I'll keep workin…
- Version 0.662: Improved navigation, lighting & an update on Act 2! - 6 June 2026
Hi there-Hope you're doing good! Work on the new area for the game, The Valley of Wrath is going fairly well. At this point, 14 of 20 encounters have been debugged. I still need to write some enemy behaviour code for a new enemy type, and connect the end of act 1 to the new parts of the game, but, it's getting there.A quick heads up: the first price increase will happen as soon as it is possible to do so (Steam has rules about price increases around sales). The current intention is to increase the price with every major update. This is a smaller, maintenance update to address a couple of issues based on your feedback and bug reports. These are: Improvements: Map Navigation, Lighting & ParticlesSet up better lighting profiles, in particular making night scenes brighter. (Thanks, justaguy2)Navigation helpers now have an improved text description.(Thanks, blindseye)Map exits are now shown…

Hi there - hope all's well!Thanks to everyone who helped with feedback since the last update - I really appreciate your support! This one's for you: a smaller update which addresses a good part of the issues you raised. I'll get back to finishing the Valley of Wrath, and if you have any more feedback, do let me know!Also pleased to find that Prometheus Wept has received a couple of new reviews recently - I was starting to believe it was stuck on 10 reviews - thanks guys :)I'll check in again in the coming weeks,DaithiImprovements & Bug FixesNavigation helpers now stay on screen until after the target character has entered the screen. Also, instead of calculating the distance from the centre of the screen, which was a little confusing, they show the distance from the nearest edge of the screen. (Thanks, blindseye)Fixed an issue with a fight locking up on a militia-aligned play-through. (…
- Version 0.66 out now! Adds player drone & exploitable enemy weaknesses! - 18 April 2026
Hi again-Hope you're doing well! Prometheus Wept V0.66 is out now. While around 80% of dev time has been spent working on the Valley of Wrath, I wanted to add something fun for anyone playing the game now: a drone for the player character.Unique Player Perk: Drone OperatorEach ally will have 2 sets of unique perks, and the player is no different. The player's first drone perk deploys a drone at the start of combat. Passively, the drone feeds data to you, increasing your chance to hit after a miss. It can also be activated to scan enemies for any tactical weaknesses. Drone functionality will be expanded with more perks in the future. Remote healing, and a self destruct attack are among the candidates.Important: You must unlock the drone operator perk on the player character to get the drone.Activating the drone's scan will reveal most but not all weaknesses. Some weaknesses require the d…

Hi there - I hope 2026 is treating you well! Most of the work since the last update has been on building the starting point of act 2, the Valley of Wrath, a place occupied by former humans maintained in a bizarre half-life by corrupted tech implants.

- Prometheus Wept V0.654 Out Now - QOL, bug fixes, and work on Act 2 has begun! - 6 December 2025
Hi there,I hope you're having a nice weekend! Prometheus Wept V0.654 is now available for your gaming pleasure. The focus of this update has been twofold – first, as usual, a number of community suggested quality of life improvements and bug fixes have been made.

- Prometheus Wept V0.652 Released - The bug forum redemption arc begins! - 9 November 2025
Hi there-Hope all's going well for you! It recently came to my attention that I wasn't subscribed to the bugs forum, and to more than a little horror, found a number of bugs that had been reported some months ago. This led to an hasty, unplanned update, which addresses all but one of these bugs and other issues which have been reported in the mean-time.Before declaring a CONDITION RED! and scurrying to fix these bugs, I'd started work on Act 2, and have prepared a number of character models and started finalising the design. There's a fair bit of background work to do here, maybe another half dozen models, several maps, design work and writing.The good news is that none of this work requires changes to the game, so it's possible to continue providing updates which improve stability and user friendliness in the meantime. In particular, there are a couple of intermittent bugs, which have…
- Update V0.650 - Day/night cycle, weather, new effects, custom portrait and more! - 17 October 2025
Hi there,I hope you're doing well! Thanks for your continued support – chats on the forums, helpful feedback and reviews – they all help keep the “encouraged” status effect active.Things are somewhat back to normal after moving from my house, which is due to be demolished and rebuilt in the future. This update took longer than usual, mostly because a play-through was required, to ensure the addition of the day/night cycle didn't cause any technical issues or story inconsistencies.Several extra visual effects have been added. My favourite is for the SRD (spacial relocation device), which is found in a optional quest in a seemingly haunted, underground research bunker. This device allows you to relocate a number of tiles away – useful if you want to put some space between you and a baseball bat wielding lunatic. Security Fix Applied:You may have heard about a security vulnerability found…

Hi there,Hope you're having a nice weekend! Here's a quick look at one of the improvements coming next week. It has been pointed out that give the number of stats, skills and derived stats, it can be difficult to understand how all the elements of the character systems work together.

Thanks for all the feedback so far, it's been a great help in improving the game!All the best,Daithi
