About This Game

Prospect is a turn-based tactics game focusing on immersive, in-depth combat and telling an epic story that will bring change to a dark and harsh dystopia. After a riot, escaped prisoners and their former guards fight for supremacy inside a huge underground prison complex. Take on the role of Zack Juniper, a convict with the special gift of precognition. Recruit and lead a group of inmates—fight guards, renegade prisoners and hacked security drones. Capture key positions, recover important resources and craft customized gear to escape this nightmare.

• 5 Unique Professions - Each profession offers several roles to fit your play style, such as tank, supporter or damage dealer. Charge at enemies and shield allies with the Assault. Let the Chemist utilize various toxins and incinerate hostiles. Hack security drones and heal wounded allies with the Engineer. Send the Scout out to clear the fog of war and identify enemy weak spots. Use elevated positions to your advantage and take out foes with precise headshots from the Sniper.
  
• Trial & Execute Tactical Combat - Plan actions and check the result live while playing. Execute your battle plan when you're satisfied. The days of spending precious action points to put yourself in a disadvantageous position are over.
  
• Immersive Gameplay - Experience combat from a third person perspective, with direct control of your characters and utilize the active targeting system to attack different body parts, leading to reduced movement, critical hits or disarming your target.
  
• Awesome Sci-fi Setting - Explore the unique environments of the prison colony such as corridors and cells, laboratories, hydroponics, ore processing, robot manufacturing plants and more.
  
• Headquarter - Build and upgrade your own facilities: Craft 3D-printed gear using blueprints and different types of 3D-filament, print accessories like scopes to further customize your equipment, get circuit tattoos to augment body parts, have your wounded troops treated in the infirmary or visit the bar and strengthen bonds with your fellow inmates.

Prospect revolutionizes the way turn-based tactics games are played. Imagine third-person combat, spiced up with role-playing elements and stealth mechanics, and enhanced with the innovative ‘Trial & Execute’ system. Experiment with your abilities in combat: try out actions like movement, weapon attacks, various skills or items and adjust your plan before finally executing it. Gain bonuses like +Hit% for actions performed consecutively.


"In the Age of Prosperity, as the human population increased, vital resources in the solar system began to dwindle. To tackle this crisis of unprecedented scale, the greatest minds on earth devised a plan to preserve the species. Thus, Project Yggdrasil was born."

A tree-like megastructure, known by its inhabitants as the Holm, shelters the colonists from the uninhabitable environment of their new, hostile, home planet. Deep down lies the prison colony of Acheron, or simply called the Tube by its inmates. Serving a sentence here means getting worked to the bone by dangerous labor, violent guards and nefarious prison gangs. Amidst the chaos of a full-scale revolt, a captive is freed from his isolation cell and joins the ranks of the rebelling prisoners, not knowing that his strange ability of precognition could change everything in their upcoming battle for freedom.





Zack is a calm and intelligent engineer who possesses the elusive gift of precognition—a rare mutation of the brain—that is both a blessing and a curse. It couldn’t keep him out of trouble, though, when the high judges convicted him of treason. The sentence: lifelong solitary confinement in the Tube. When the riot had already started to rage, a fellow inmate called Sam opened his cell. Once again, his fate was in his own hands.

Despite only being incarcerated for a few months, Sam seems strangely enthusiastic about finding herself behind bars. With her broad smile and sunny disposition, she has a reputation for helping out other inmates. The way she always speaks her mind gained her a handful of friends for every enemy she inevitably, sometimes intentionally, insulted along the way. With a drive to fight oppression wherever she sees it, it’s only natural that she joined forces with Harkon Arnolds as a scout.

Harkon was the head of a private police force before they exchanged their uniforms for orange overalls. With him and his comrades acting as unofficial peacekeepers, many followed his lead when the riots erupted. Now, feared and respected, he has established himself as the figurehead of the prison revolt. The prison yard tightly in their hands, his forces of rebellion, the Unshackled, share their spoils of conquest with anyone who is willing to join their cause and fight for a second chance: a life outside the Tube.

When the distinguished graduate of the law and son of one of the most prestigious high judges, took up his work as Deputy Warden at Acheron, he sought to enforce his ‘rightful’ version of the law in this forsaken place. When the prison erupted in violence, he saw an opportunity to make a name for himself—as the one who would quell this insurrection. With egotistic fervor, he drives his subordinates into battle like toy soldiers, making sure each of them knows that the punishment for refusing his orders would be worse than any rebel’s rifle fire.

PRISON YARD

As one of the very rare places for leisure time, the Tube's three yards always held an air of sanctuary. When the Unshackled took one of them, they reimagined it as a bastion for their cause. But access to the yard is a means to an end. It serves as a strategic junction point from which they launch their salvage missions with only one goal in mind: to breach the heavily fortified watchtower. Whoever holds the tower controls access to the ancient freight lift at its center—the only way out of the Tube. Even with the threat of an all out attack from the guards on the horizon, Liberty Gate still draws inmates with hope for freedom in their hearts towards it every day.

HYDROPONICS

Several hydroponic complexes were constructed to produce large quantities of plant-based nutrients that keep the prisoners as healthy as needed, while excess food and more exotic vegetables have been sent upwards. Now, with the prison complex sealed off from the outside world and only limited food supplies in storage, capturing and maintaining a hydroponic farm is a matter of utmost survival.

ROBOT ASSEMBLY LINE

Various high-tech products, from military equipment like bio-coded weapons to autonomous war machines, are manufactured here. Rumors say that most of the military equipment is sent down to the clan chiefs of the Underworld to fight yet another proxy war for the top dwellers. With the main lines shut down for emergency lockdown, security systems in place, and automated weapon systems swarming the areas, the Unshackled still scavenge these sites for materials, 3D-printer parts and liquid filament, vital to all factions of the conflict.
