You're a Subject, Not a Hero

... You notice the facility has shifted since last time.

That bookcase is blocking the hallway now. Available routes have changed. But you will still find your way to the security room. You will confront the narrator directly.

But the narrator sends you back. Again, and again.

Each time, more is revealed about what happened here. And you will not stop until you find your answers

Welcome

I'm the solo dev of The Promethean Project and I wanted to give you an update to the overall story. Because you haven't played a game like this.

You're not a hero. You're his subject. And the experiment is nearly over.

This is a fight for control against an antagonist who has weaponized perspective itself. It's your job to use your camera to investigate and unravel the mysteries.

The Antagonist: A Narrator in Control

Your primary antagonist is The Narrator. He is in control of the facility, and to a degree, he is in control of you.

When you learn too much and get too near to his security room, he... resets you.

You are physically transported, clipped through walls, and dumped back at the start. He's not just a storyteller. He's a censor. And he's not just resetting your "progress." He's rearranging the facility itself. That bookcase from the library? It’s now barricading the hallway. He is actively moving furniture to block your path.

The Investigation: How You Fight Back

You're a subject, but you're not powerless. Your tool is observation. Your weapon is truth. You are a detective in a 1990s sci-fi horror novel, exploring a massive three-building facility that went dark years ago.

You will explore:

• The Corporate Admin Building - What was once the facility's pristine public facade.

• The Staff Dormitories - For a complete live-in staff. Everyone from security to executives.

• The Secured Lab - And its sprawling underground complex. The home of the facility's dark experiments.

The Narrator's mind is a living system, and he remembers everything you find.

Imagine this: There's an ID tag for 'Dr. Chen' in the lobby. You can ignore it or photograph it. You may even miss it. Later, when you find her first log, The Narrator's response will be completely different.

• If you photographed it: He'll be suspicious."Prying into things that don't concern you, aren't we?"

• If you ignored it: He might be deceptively helpful."Such a tragedy, what happened to her."

• If you missed it: He'll introduce her while talking about the evidence.

Three Core Mysteries to Uncover

Your investigation is focused on three main storylines that are tangled together within the facility's ruins.

• Project: Promethean

  • You're here for your brother. His last messages were... concerning. Then, they stopped. Years of digging led you to this secluded facility. You'll trace his final days through his personal journals, scattered effects, and the classified company records of his work on a project code-named "Promethean."

• Project: Hecate

  • Your only tool, a digital camera, belonged to Dr. Chen. She was the head of "Project: Styx," an experiment to create trans-dimensional gateways. Now, you must follow the trail she left behind: her panicked video logs, her covert research notes, and the physical destruction across the facility as it fell.

• Project: Arachne's Thread

  • You are not alone and another monster stalks these halls, a result of the Arachne's Thread project gone wrong. But this monster is different. It's... highly intelligent. You'll find its own research notes and logs of experimentation... right next to the hulks of what now sustain it when MREs are not enough. But you are not its only prey. Terrified camps of other survivors are being actively hunted. Will you help the other survivors escape?

Your Story is Not a Line. It's a Web.

This is not a game of 'Choice A' or 'Choice B.' We call it a'narrative web.'Your investigation is not linear. The order you find clues and the path you take builds a unique story that is yours alone.

Most games offer simple branches. Here, every discovery is a new connection. Your path through the web is your investigation... your fight against the narrator's control.

Your Story Has an Arc

Your path through the web isn't random—it's building a story. Every clue you find is a step up a structured, terrifying narrative. Your actions and focus don't just give you flavor text; they determine the entire focus of your journey.

Your journey is a hunt for the truth. As you progress through "Episodes," you'll go from being lost and confused to knowing exactly what you're looking for. The story's climax revolves around the clues you've focused on the most.

The Narrative Blueprint

This isn't just an idea. It's a concrete plan and the mechanics work. This blueprint shows the full structure of the game, its three main storylines, and our transparent roadmap of what is being built.

This is the design. You can see how all three main storylines ([c]A[/c], [c]B[/c], and [c]C[/c]) are interconnected. The clues you discover in [c]Episode 1[/c] can lead you to [c]Episode 2[/c] of a completely different storyline.

This is also the promise:

• The Demo will be a focused introduction to the game, featuring the full [c]Tutorial Episode[/c] and [c]Episode 1[/c] of the first storyline.

• The Launch will feature the complete, polished first storyline.

• Future Updates will deliver the remaining two storylines, which are already designed to be integrated from the start.

Thank you for following the project. We're building something truly unique, and we can't wait for you to start your investigation.
