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.

4/11/2026 Version Highlights

• The green cell economy has been rebalanced: the green cells needed for the party to rest are now much rarer than before, significantly increasing the challenge the game poses and restoring the exciting and tense gameplay experience that limited resting opportunities was intended to provide.
• The layouts generated for Necropolis, the 2nd dungeon, have been significantly improved: waypoints are located in more useful positions, buildings can have a larger variety of features and sizes, and the streets are laid out in much more interesting ways as well.
• A variety of small content additions have been made including new items, new skills, new spells, and new monster flavors and enhancements.
• A particularly large number of bug fixes, balance adjustments, and other improvements are included as well, given that stability and polish were an area of emphasis for this update.
• Note: Save files from earlier versions will not work in the 4/11/2026 version. You will need to finish your game in your current version, or begin a new game in the 4/11/2026 version.
