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.
