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.
Features
- The current version allows the first three dungeons to be fully explored, providing roughly 10 to 20 hours of gameplay.
- Even in this early version, over 180 skills and 265 items are waiting to be found.
- More than 1500 possible enemies can be generated, giving each game a unique bestiary to test your party against. (If Elite and Champion variants are counted, more than 56,000 possibilities exist!)
- A 44 page PDF manual is included for old times' sake.
7/19/2025 Version Highlights
- The Scrap economy has been overhauled to ensure the later parts of the game maintain the proper level of challenge. These changes will be felt primarily in Necropolis and Eden: the early game in Lethe should be mostly unchanged.
- Improvements have been to several of Eden's events including new resolutions, new or changed rewards, and new interaction possibilities.
- Further progress on controller input: you can now use the left-stick on controllers to move throughout the dungeon.
- As this was a "polish" build, it contains an unusually large number of other bug fixes, balance adjustments, and improvements; see the included change log for more details on these.
- Note: Save files from earlier versions are unlikely to work in the 7/19/2025 version. You will need to finish your game in your current version, or begin a new game in the 7/19/2025 version.
