addedValley of Wrath - First Images:The below images are from the first of two maps, and contain the headquarters of a number of fictional old-world social media companies. The characters haven't been added yet, but will soon.
addedShort Term Roadmap:To provide you with a more concrete sense of progress towards the next major release, I've added a short-term roadmap below. When all the bars hit 100%, the Valley of Wrath will be available for you to play. Courtesy notice: the price of the game will increase around this time.
changedCurrent Sale Event - 20% Off:The current sale offers the highest discount to date, partly because I'd like more feedback and partly to evaluate how discount % affects sales. The intent remains not to heavily discount Prometheus Wept during early access. In case you haven't checked out my other games: Vigilantes , Deadstone they are also on sale!

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.
