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.
