Introduction

Interdict: The Post-Empyrean Age is a classic-style dungeon crawler similar to Wizardry I-V, Might and Magic I & II, and the Etrian Odyssey series. You will create a party of characters and guide them through dangerous labyrinths filled with enemies to battle in turn-based combat, treasures to find, and mysteries to uncover. 

However, Interdict also incorporates significant roguelike elements: most of the game's content is procedurally generated each time you play, the resources available to your party are scarce, and looming over your quest is the threat of "permawipe". Individual characters who die may be revived, but if your party is wiped out, your game is over and you must restart from the beginning, with nothing carrying over from previous attempt.

Description

In Interdict, you play as a group of six prisoners who have been awakened from their forced slumber to find their memories gone and the world shattered.

Starting with only improvised equipment, and barely any memory of what skills they may have once possessed, your party must escape their prison, discover what happened to the world, and whether or not it may yet be restored.

Battles with foes will be frequent and dangerous, but you will confront them with characters of your own design: there are no classes to hold you back. Any character may use any item or learn any skill, they need only train to meet the requirements, and their training is entirely up to you.

Your party's outfitting is also under your control. You can upgrade or craft more of any equipment you find, but the resources needed to do so are finite and few. Will you prioritize weapons, armor, or magical relics? Will you focus on making powerful equipment for one or two to utilize, or spread your resources evenly to make plenty of basic gear for everyone?

These decisions, and more, are entirely yours to make. Your party's success or failure lies in your hands.

2/28/2025 Version Highlights

• Over 25 new skills have been added that can be discovered as you explore Lethe and the Necropolis, providing several new options for existing character and party builds, as well as opening the door to entirely new possibilities.  But beware: enemies will also be making use of these new skills...
• Several significant balance adjustments have been made: warcries now require being in the front row, the formula for FP draining skills and spells has been revamped to make them more useful for the player to use and less devastating to be hit by, tougher monster species such as Lizards now appear with fewer and/or weaker allies, skill requirements for spell schools have been tweaked, and attack accuracy has been nudged upwards across the board.
• Various other bug fixes and minor improvements; see the included change log for more details.
• Note: During this early phase of development, save file compatibility between updates is not assured. 2/28/2025 save files are not compatible with 1/4/2025. Please finish your game in the 1/4/2025 version, or start a new game in  the 2/28/2025 version.
